Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru from Dujac was one of the talking points of the tasting. It performed extremely well compared to its peers (note that this is a domaine bottling and not "Dujac Fils & Père"). It has quite an intense bouquet with signs of some whole bunch addition but backed with plenty of dark red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with good body and substance, well-judged acidity, perhaps with the whole bunch defining the wine more than the terroir at this early juncture, although that will not always be the case. Give this time in bottle if you want the birthplace of this wine to express itself. Dujac lovers should have some of this in their cellars—very, very impressive

Producer
Domaine Dujac
Domaine Dujac has somewhat recent beginnings, with a history only dating back to the late 1960s. A then young Jacques Seysses came to Burgundy from a non-wine background. His father was a wealthy businessman who had a biscuit company and was a true bon vivant and gourmand. Following a stint in banking and then the biscuit business, Jacques headed off to Burgundy to learn about wine. They found a rundown domaine in Morey-Saint-Denis (Domaine Graillet), bought it and named the property after himself. The domaine quickly attained a high reputation and over the years, Jacques slowly gave the estate to his three sons - Jeremy, Alec and Paul. Today, they have over 15 hectares of vines that are dispersed over 16 appellations, producing both white and red. In 2000, Jeremy, the eldest of the three children, started a small négociant business called Dujac Fils & Père. They have also been part owners of Triennes, a Provençal estate producing rosé, red and white wines since 1990.
