2023 Domaine Dujac Morey-Saint-Denis

90-92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Solid purple, with a reductive nose, the village Morey is altogether brawnier, more concentrated, with dark red fruit, and clearly in need of more elevage. Perhaps the Morey suffers coming after the exquisite Cras. It will prove to be a very good wine when it settles down. Drink from 2030-2035. (Nov 2024)"

91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2023 Morey St. Denis AC from Domaine Dujac is also excellent in this vintage. It shares the same aromatic purity as the Chambolle, wafting from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, plums, cocoa powder, a fine base of dark soil tones, pigeon, woodsmoke and a nice touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, fine-grained and full, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent soil signature and grip, suave tannins and a long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. Good juice. 2033-2065. (Jan/Feb 2025)"

Domaine Dujac is a respected family-run wine estate based in Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, founded in 1968 when Jacques Seysses bought and renamed a small property previously called Domaine Graillet. Seysses, who trained with established Burgundians, built the domaine’s reputation by marrying Burgundian tradition with thoughtful innovation and by expanding holdings into highly regarded vineyards across both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Today his children Jeremy Seysses, his wife Diana, and his son Alec lead operations, continuing quality improvements and a move to organic viticulture completed in the late 2000s. Dujac’s still-relatively limited production focuses on Pinot Noir and some Chardonnay from village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru sites; winemaking has evolved from Jacques’s earlier heavy reliance on whole-cluster fermentation and all-new oak to more flexible use of stems and oak by vintage and terroir, with an emphasis on expressing site and fruit purity. The estate is widely regarded for elegant, complex Burgundies prized by collectors and sommeliers. (dujac.com)
