TASTING NOTES

Domaine Dujac Clos St Denis Grand Cru 2018 exemplifies the pinnacle of Burgundy winemaking, showcasing exceptional fragrance, refined structure, and remarkable longevity. Esteemed wine expert Jasper Morris MW notes that while Dujac wines may not always boast the deepest color, their aromatic complexity and balance consistently set them apart among Burgundy’s elite producers.

Founded in 1967 by Jacques Seysses, Domaine Dujac has grown from a modest 4 hectares in Morey-St-Denis to an impressive 11.5 hectares, including prestigious Grand Cru vineyards such as Clos de la Roche, Bonnes-Mares, Echézeaux, and Charmes-Chambertin. The Clos St Denis vineyard, renowned for its unique terroir, produces wines that are both elegant and powerful, reflecting the distinct mineral and floral notes characteristic of this revered site.

Guided by a philosophy of minimal intervention, Domaine Dujac employs modern technology to protect the vines from adverse weather, yet allows nature to take its course when conditions are favorable. The wines are neither filtered nor fined, preserving their purity and complexity. All Premier and Grand Cru wines, including this 2018 vintage, are matured in 100% new oak barrels, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and aging potential.

This 2018 vintage, sourced from a premium private cellar, has earned a stellar 98 points from Decanter, underscoring its status as a true vin de garde. The wine’s vibrant acidity, layered fruit profile, and silky tannins make it a refined choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a Burgundy of the highest order.

Right up there with the very best wines of the vintage in 2018, this is a beautifully refined expression of the domaine's St Denis, extending to 1.17ha of this finest of Grands Crus. Everything about this wine is in the right place, with subtle 75% whole bunches, polished, nuanced tannins, thrilling minerality, fine, floral red berry sweetness and lingering minerality. The sort of thing every Pinot lover should cherish.

The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is also showing beautifully, bursting with aromas of raspberries, red cherries, cassis and raw cocoa that are complemented by fragrant top notes of orange rind, rose petals and violets. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, lively and elegant, with finer-grained tannins than the more overtly muscular Clos de la Roche, but with similar dimension and mid-palate presence, concluding with a long and perfumed finish.

The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet of blackberry, wild strawberry, crushed rocks/sandstone and touches of dried blood. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, brown spices and a slight charcoal-like note. Moderate depth, quite masculine in style, a little austerity on the finish... but that is what you want from a Clos Saint-Denis.

Ripe purple, for me this does not quite sing through so much as Clos de la Roche. Reserved but suggestive of a very pure clear and balanced fruit. Barrel gives a lactic element. Good acidity. This is biding its time but I suspect it is all there. Jeremy Seysses is a fan. Another barrel was more expressive, with a sumptuous raspberry fruit that is not cooked at all, and good acidity. Very promising.

The 2018 Clos St. Denis here is every bit as magical as the Clos de la Roche. The spicy and red fruity bouquet is already very expressive, offering up a deep, pure and sappy constellation of red plums, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, a complex base of soil, cocoa powder, fresh nutmeg and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is elegant, full-bodied and very transparent, with a sappy core, great focus and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a very, very long, soil-driven and tangy finish. This is brilliant and maybe my favorite wine in the Dujac cellars this year (though I did not taste the RSV
