WINEMAKER NOTES:
Grown on soils of clay & limestone and fermented in stainless steel tanks, using naturally occurring yeast. Aged in 50% new and 50% one year old French barrique for 18 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
TASTING NOTES:
Dark plum aroma, with notes of Havana cigars and violets. The texture is rich and concentrated, yet it always remains velvety and supple. This should be approachable soon, yet have the capacity to age at least through the mid-term. Dujac blends four different premier crus for this bottling, including Les Ruchots, Clos Sorbé, Les Millandes and Les Charrières, from a total surface of 0.78ha. The fruit was picked at the end of August at a modest 13% potential alcohol. Aged in 45% new casks.

The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is very promising indeed, mingling aromas of raspberries and plums with scents of rose petals, dark chocolate and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, perfumed and tightly wound, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a long, saline finish, I increasingly think that this cuvée is the most underrated wine in the Domaine Dujac portfolio.
