The Story

Unlike most Burgundian estates, whether they have been bottling for a number of decades or only embarked on this path recently, the Domaine Dujac is a recent creation. It dates from 1968.

They have been working as a trio now for a few vintages. Have things changed? S...

Written Notes

One last, brief note was taken for a 1996 Dujac Clos St. Denis. This was showing the better qualities of the 1996 vintage, which is finally fleshing out and showing more and more minty fruit.

Medium to medium-full, mature colour. Fresh, complex nose, with a bit more of the stems apparent than most. This is because the fruit is less ample here. On the palate quite full. Certainly vigorous. Interesting sweet-sour flavours. Good grip. Riper than the nose would suggest. Good long finish. Fine.
