Jacques Seysses started Domaine Dujac in 1968. He was not born in Burgundy, but winemaking is his true vocation. His love for wine comes from his father, a gourmet with a passion for fine wines. Even as a young boy, Jacques would meet the greatest winegrowers of the time in the company of his father. From only 5 hectares in 1968, the estate gradually expanded to 11 hectares in 1977, and then reached 15.5 hectares in 2005. Over the years, the estate has expanded beyond the historic site of Morey-Saint-Denis. In 2014, with the acquisition of leased vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet (the Premier Crus Folatières and Combettes), the Domaine produces wines in both Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. They are now among the most sought-after and collectable wines in Burgundy, although priced considerably less than the top wines.
750 mlThe red wine from Morey-Saint-Denis comes from 6 plots at the foot of the slope, west of the road (RD 974), and east of the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, where the slope is slight (3%). The plots range in altitude from 249 to 264 meters, facing northeast to due south.
The loamy soil is less stony than higher upslope, with patches of Comblanchien limestone fragments in some parts.
The plots for the Morey-Saint-Denis village wine lie on two different types of substratum. Some plots overlie fine deposits, laid down over a million years, that gradually filled in the fault trough (graben), while other plots overlie alluvial flow deposits at the mouth of the valley (Combe de Morey-Saint-Denis).
