Red Wine: 2012 | Domaine Dujac | Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru
There is plenty of depth, especially on the substantial finish, but the overall impression is of silkiness and softness, in relative terms, of course. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint and orange peel add the final layers of nuance.

Reviews:
- Burghound: An intensely floral nose features notes of assorted red berries, earth, spice and soft wood nuances. This possesses a beguiling mouth feel with its super fine-grained tannins and wonderful purity of expression exhibited by the palate coating medium weight flavors that offer a spicy inner mouth perfume, all wrapped in a harmonious, balanced and persistent if very backward and moderately austere finish.
- Wine Advocate: The 2012 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru has an intense, broody bouquet with dark plum, blackcurrant, undergrowth and mushroom scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, the tannins a little chalkier than the Echezeaux with great tension on the spicy finish.
Producer Information
Domaine Dujac is a highly regarded and critically lauded wine producer based in Burgundy's Morey-Saint-Denis appellation. It makes high-quality wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, ranging from entry-level Bourgogne to wines made from some of the top Grand Cru vineyards in the Cte de Nuits, including Clos de la Roche and Le Chambertin.The domaine was founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, who had spent the previous few years travelling around Burgundy learning the craft from the likes of Aubert de Villaine at Domaine de la Romane-Conti and Charles Rousseau of Domaine Armand Rousseau. He purchased a small, run-down property in Morey-Saint-Denis and planted some Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
