Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts Dujac Fils et Père 2005

The wine

This prestigious Domaine Dujac 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts cuvée stems from a unique terroir located to the south-west of the village of Vosne-Romanée, on a steep 9% slope at an altitude of 254 to 278 metres, facing due east. The winemaking process is traditional, with pre-fermentation cold maceration to gently extract the aromas and colour, followed by fermentation in open vats with regular punching down and pumping over to help extract the tannins. The wine is aged in French oak casks for 18 to 20 months, with around 50% new wood, adding subtle notes of vanilla and spices.
Complex aromas of red and black fruits, violets, undergrowth and spicy nuances rise from the glass. Elegant on the palate, this nectar offers a fine tannic structure, balanced acidity and remarkable length, with flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, liquorice and truffles.

About the Producer Dujac Fils et Père

Jacques Seysses created the Domaine Dujac in 1968 by purchasing 4.5 hectares (ha). It is now his children who run one of the most prominent domaines of Burgundy. In addition to the domaine, Jacques Seysses and his sons Jeremy and Alec have launched a trading activity: Dujac Fils et Père, discussed in this section. The vinification is carried out with the same care as in the family vineyard (Domaine Dujac) by Jérémy, his wife Diana (an American oenologist) and Alec Seysses. The domaine, certified in organic farming, extends over 15ha in the largest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and especially Morey-Saint-Denis. The domaine's wines have excellent aging potential and are characterised on the whole by great complexity and considerable delicacy.
