1997 | Domaine Dujac | Clos St Denis

Clos Saint-Denis was a church-owned vineyard during the Middle Ages, belonging to the Collégiale de St-Denis de Vergy. Today, the 6.6-hectare Grand Cru is shared by almost 20 owners, including high-profile producers such as Maison Louis Jadot, Domaine Ponsot, Joseph Drouhin and the prestigious Domaine Dujac with 1.30 hectares. This is their release from 1997, a vintage which presented attractive red wines from day one. Expect a very attractive nose, including aromas of red cherries, strawberries, plums, a touch of spices and smoke. On the palate, this is a mature, well-balanced Pinot Noir, with a silky texture and firm acidity.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The ruby-colored 1997 Clos St.-Denis reveals sweet candied cherry aromas, intermingled with violets, roses, and spices. It possesses outstanding breadth, precision, and lace-like finesse, yet also reveals an impressive underlying power. This expressive, red berry-flavored, and admirably persistent wine is already a delight to drink, yet has the capacity to mature and evolve over the next 8-10 years." (10/99) 90 points Stephen Tanzer: "Medium red. Deeper pitched, complex aromas of black raspberry, gunpowder, mulch, smoke and charred oak. Big and rich in the mouth, with excellent depth of flavor and solid underlying structure. Note of tarry oak. Smooth, fresh and very persistent on the finish. I like this.

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 Côte 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 Romanée-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.
