Critic Scores

95 // Tim Atkin MW

"Divided equally between Charmes itself and MazoyÃ¨res, this comes from a total of four different parcels and is always an elegant, well-balanced expression of the Grand Cru. Floral, scented and very beguiling, with red cherry and raspberry fruit flavours, nuanced tannins and a fresh, mineral-edged finish. 2022-30. (01/2018)"

95 // Jasper Morris MW

"There are four plots in all, between Charmes and MazoyÃ¨res. Great density of purple here. Very delicious accessible fruit, then greater depth through the middle and a stonier finish. Classic vibrant raspberry fruit throughout though. Very good."

94 // Stephen Tanzer

"(a 50/50 blend of Charmes and MazoyÃ¨res): Bright, full red. Alluring scents of black raspberry, red cherry and rose petal; lovely classic Charmes but a bit redder than usual for this cuvee at this address. Sappy and energetic in the mouth, combining compelling sweetness of fruit with good grip. The very long, rising finish features a firm tannic structure. This grand cru will be sexy early on and should age well. (ST)"

94 // Allen Meadows

"The equally pretty nose is compositionally similar to that of the Combottes but with just a bit more earth and underbrush characters. By contrast there is more volume, power and slightly better concentration as well as on the dusty, serious and mouth coating finish where the supporting tannins are slightly firmer."

93 // Decanter

"Like the Echezeaux, the Charmes-Chambertin presented quite a red-fruity bouquet, bursting from the glass with aromas of red berries, plums, orange rind, espresso and a framing of cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is sapid, cool and detailed, with an expansive, giving attack. This is followed by a taut, fine-grained chassis of tannin that asserts itself, clamping down on the nicely intense finish. This will likely integrate more completely by the end of its elevage. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040. (William Kelley)"

Domaine Dujac

Domaine Dujac in Burgundy was acquired by Jacques Seysses in 1967. The domaine in Morey-St-Denis had 4 hectares of vineyards and he has subsequently built it up to 11.5 hectares. Domaine Dujac now includes holdings in Clos de la Roche, Clos St-Denis, Bonnes-Mares, Echézeaux and Charmes-Chambertin . “Use knowledge and technology to counter accidents – for example, bad weather – but, if all is going well, don’t interfere,” says Seysses and this principle guides much of what happens in the vineyards and the cellars. Dujac wines are neither filtered nor fined and all of his premiers and grands crus are aged in 100% new oak. These are wines of the very highest order.

Dujac wines are not necessarily the deepest in colour but are noted for their exceptional fragrance, structure and longevity. With seven grands crus in the stable, Dujac is today one of Burgundy’s leading domaines.
