Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Dujac Fils et Père 2018

The wine

Reputed for its discretion and limited production, Domaine Dujac here proposes an organic Clos de la Roche. It is made from Pinot noir that enjoys an oceanic climate and roots in chalk and marl soil.
Made for long ageing, this wine has a ruby red colour that develops purple hints in time. Its primary notes are fruity (raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant, and plum) and floral (violet), with rustic touches of earth, spices, and leather that evolve. A long cellaring will allow its dense texture to deepen.
This wine pairs really well with powerful game dishes as well as cheese; try it with an Italian truffle cheese!

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.
