DUJAC MOREY ST DENIS 1ER CRU 2023 750 ml

Description

Discover the legacy behind Domaine Dujac's Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru 2023, a Burgundy red wine that captures a family's deep-rooted devotion to excellence. It all started with Louis Seysses, a skilled biscuit maker whose love for exceptional cuisine extended to the world's finest wines. His son, Jacques, inherited that fervor early on, evolving from admirer to creator. Eager to craft his own vintages, Jacques honed his skills through an apprenticeship under Gerard Potel at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or, immersing himself over two harvests in conversations with Burgundy's legendary producers.

Jacques brought home more than techniques—he ignited a relentless pursuit at Dujac to refine every aspect of winemaking. This drive defines the domaine today, pushing boundaries while honoring tradition. The 2023 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru emerges from Pinot Noir grapes nurtured on clay and limestone soils, with vines tended organically since 2001. Fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks relying on native yeasts, yielding a wine that speaks authentically of its origins.

Critics have taken note: Decanter awards it 94 points, praising its nuanced blackberry and raspberry notes laced with spice and earth, alongside a round, silky texture that promises to unveil fully after bottling. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate scores the domaine's similar cuvee 90+, highlighting its plush layers of plum, berry, baking spice, and citrus peel accents, wrapped in fleshy structure, vibrant energy, and a lingering aromatic close.

At 14% ABV and in a 750 ml bottle, this French Burgundy red from the Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru parcel offers insiders' appeal for those seeking depth and balance. Pair it with roasted game or earthy mushrooms to let its silky poise shine, or savor solo to appreciate the Seysses vision. Whether stocking your cellar or selecting a standout gift, this Dujac expression delivers the precision and soul that Burgundy devotees crave. Elevate your next gathering with a wine that embodies quiet innovation and timeless passion.
