Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.
Domaine Dujac was started by Jacques Seysses when he bought Domaine Graillet estate in 1967 and renamed it Dujac or, humorously, "domaine of Jac.” While Jacques is still involved, his children have assumed much of the day-to-day operations.
The estate employs a mixture of organic and biodynamic farming on 16 hectares of vineyards. The low-yielding vines are handpicked and partial whole-cluster fermentation is used when the stems are ripe.
The wines of Dujac unfold like a story with layers of complex aromatics and flavors supported by a balanced yet nervy backbone—the right ingredients for outstanding age-worthy, terroir-focused Burgundy.
