商品説明

デュジャックの顔とも言うべきモレ・サン・ドニ屈指のグラン・クリュ。

創設者のジャック・セイスはベルギー出身で、ドメーヌ創設の前に2ヴィンテージをブルゴーニュで過ごし、ジェラール・ポテルの元、ドメーヌ・プス・ドールでワイン造りを学んだ。その間に、DRCのオベール・ド・ヴィレーヌやアルマン・ルソーのシャルル・ルソーらと親交を深めている。 そして1968年に4.5haのドメーヌ・グライエを買い取り、自らの名前、ジャックをもじってドメーヌ・デュジャックと名付けたのだ。現在はジャックの息子、ジェレミーとアレックがそれぞれ醸造と販売を担当し、ドメーヌを実質的に引き継いでいる。ジャックの妻もジェレミーの妻もアメリカ人で、ジェレミー夫人ダイアナは醸造学を修めたエノローグである。

「クロ・サン・ドニ グラン・クリュ」は、ジョルジュ・リニエの1.49haにわずかながら及ばぬものの、ドメーヌの前身グライエから引き継いだ1.47haは、このグラン・クリュ最大級の面積だ。次男のアレックはクロ・ド・ラ・ロッシュよりもフェミニンでフィネスのあるグラン・クリュがこのクロ・サン・ドニだという。味わいも瑞々しく、余韻はリニアに伸びていく。

The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, blood orange, rose petals and spices. Full-bodied, supple and suave, with a multidimensional core of cool, pure fruit, it's seamless and velvety, with lively acids and a long, saline finish.

Harvest at Domaine Dujac began on August 29. At the time, Jeremy Seysses thought of the vintage as potentially reminiscent of 2018-tasting the wines this winter, he feels that they're more delicate, while also admitting that he was even more cautious about extraction in 2022. Whatever the apposite analogy, the result is clear: a superb portfolio of beautifully balanced wines that unite charm and density. Readers, of course, will be familiar with the outlines of the Dujac approach to producing red Burgundy: organic farming, fermentation with a predominance of whole clusters and elevage in barrels largely sourced from Tonnellerie Remond. None of that seems to have changed in 2022, despite a new winery where stainless steel vats have replaced concrete. The wines retain, nay exalt in, their distinctive identity.

The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet with impressive purity, a light marine influence infusing the red fruit mixed with blueberry, becoming ever more floral with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, white pepper and allspice. There is a palpable sense of energy here, with gentle grip and a dash of white pepper on the finish. It closes up a bit in the glass, but I think it's a long-term proposition. Level-pegging with the Clos de la Roche at the moment. - By Neal Martin on November 2023

Like the previous vintage, Domaine Dujac organized two or three “classes” in the vat room. So, I tasted their 2022s with around 20 other importers and writers, seated in rows and desperately hoping not to be put into detention. This has advantages and disadvantages. Jeremy Seysses tutored the tasting and offered his insights into the vintage, the first vinified in their newly-built winery opposite the family home in Morey-Saint-Denis.

“We are still learning about the particularities of the winery,” he begins. Obviously, with brand new vats operating in a completely new environment, this will have unexpected effects on the must and the fermenting wine, something that can only be learned through experience. “The vintage is in line with what is described as the ‘new normal.’ We didn’t have a relentless heat wave like we had in 2003. We have cooler nights, but the wines still have acidity. In the 1990s, we had much more malic acid, so there has been a significant shift in pH during elevage [that is to say, malolactic has less effect since there is less malic to convert into lactic acid]. Also, the timing of picking has an impact.”
