Domaine Dujac, Chambertin Grand Cru 2017

Jacques Seysses started Domaine Dujac in 1968. He was not born in Burgundy, but winemaking is his true vocation. During the 1966 and 1967 harvests, he learned winemaking with Gérard Potel at the Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in Volnay. In 1968, he bought the Domaine Graillet in Morey-Saint-Denis, which he renamed Domaine Dujac. From only 5 hectares in 1968, the estate gradually expanded to 11 hectares in 1977, and then reached 15.5 hectares in 2005. Over the years, the estate has expanded beyond the historic site of Morey-Saint-Denis.

The Chambertin Grand Cru lies between the village of Morey-Saint-Denis to the south and Gevrey-Chambertin to the north, mid-slope, but at the upper limit for winegrowing on this hillside. The slope is steep (more than 5%). The plot ranges in altitude from 273 to 302 meters. The lieu-dit faces east-southeast.
