Finding the perfect convergence of vintage & producer for aged Burgundy is always a thrilling element of the chase. While Domaine Dujac is part of the elite year-in-and-year-out, the are still vintages that, for me personally, reverberate the very most. Similar to Fourrier's 2006's, Roumier's 2007's, the 2008 vintage from this Morey Saint Denis reference point is simply lights out. Sourcing back-vintage magnums of the M-S-D is usually a non-starter, until today.

Domaine Dujac stands out for their Morey signature brown spice, transparent style, and stylish, suave texture. But, the greatest endorsement of any wine is its ability to quickly vanish from the table. When a glass of Dujac is first poured eyes are best remained fixed on the bottle, as time is undoubtedly limited.

2008 is a vintage marked, above all, by its unparalleled level of terroir signature - this is a Burgundy purists' vintage above any in the decade. A 750ml bottle opened last week with friends was a great reminder that the vintage seriously rewards the patient. The cherry-dominant fruit was very bright, with truffle-y forest floor notes coming out more and more. The whole cluster inclusion at fermentation that the domaine is so synonymous with gave off a spicy lift that was mesmerizing. 

Working with the domaine in 2012, much of my time was spent in the Morey Saint Denis vineyards which comprise the lion's share of the Dujac holdings. The attention to detail in the villages level parcels was expected to be just as surgical as our time working in the grand crus. We can attribute many things to the rise of this domaine Jacques Seysses first founded in 1968, but the cornerstone of their brilliance stems from the raw materials that are meticulously tended during the growing season.

In large format, the aging curve for the wines shift, holding onto primary fruit and structure longer, while letting the more tertiary notes reveal themselves slowly. At 10 years of age, Dujac's villages wines are ready for prime time. Many collectors may be hesitant to source magnums for fear of finding a proper crowd to finish an entire bottle. But, rest assured, the 2008 Morey Saint Denis is guaranteed to disappear in a flash.
