FEATURES
The 2020 vintage for Domaine Dujac's Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is widely celebrated as a "particular success" in Burgundy. Domaine Dujac is renowned as one of Burgundy's most famous estates, crafting distinctive red Burgundies from an impressive array of vineyard plots, including seven Grands Crus. This 1er Cru is a blend from four different premier crus: Les Ruchots, Clos Sorbé, Les Millandes, and Les Charrières. The grapes were harvested at the end of August with a modest 13% potential alcohol, and the wine was aged in 45% new casks, contributing to its complex character and aging potential.
This wine offers a complex nose of wild and sour cherries, porcini mushrooms, peach pits, and sandalwood. It presents a fragrant bouquet with rose-petal-tinged red fruit, fine delineation, and a stylish focus, with hints of animal fur developing over time. Dark berry fruit, orange rind, incense, rose petals, and warm spices are also evident. On the palate, it is silky, medium to full-bodied, with delicious spicy and wild earthy undertones. Expect sappy red fruit, a fresh and saline quality, an insistent grip, and a briny finish. It is described as velvety, seamless, elegant, and charming, with fine concentration and beautifully powdery tannins, suggesting an approachable yet age-worthy profile with a drinking window from 2025 to 2040.
🍴 This classic red Burgundy is an excellent match for rich poultry and game birds such as duck, goose, and other game. Its savory and classic style also makes it suitable for roasted meats and mushroom-based dishes.
🥂 The 2020 Dujac Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is ideal for significant celebrations, sophisticated dinner parties, or as a prized addition to a wine collector's cellar. Its acclaimed quality and aging potential make it a wine to be savored on special occasions.
