Domaine Dujac Bourgogne Rouge 2018 Bouteille (75cl)
The 2018 Domaine Dujac Bourgogne Rouge is a red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir by Domaine Dujac. It reflects the estate's low-intervention philosophy, based on a proportion of whole-cluster fermentation adapted to the vintage and the use of native yeasts. Fermentation lasts about two weeks, followed by 14 to 18 months of ageing in oak barrels, designed to refine the tannin structure without masking the expression of the fruit and origin.

Histoire du domaine
Jacques Seysses founded Domaine Dujac in 1968 after learning the art of winemaking from Gérard Potel at the Domaine de la Pousse d’Or in Volnay during the 1966 and 1967 harvests. He then acquired the Domaine Graillet in Morey-Saint-Denis and renamed it Dujac, a name derived from ‘du Jacques’. His wife Rosalind joined him in this venture after their marriage in 1973 and helped develop the estate. The vineyard, which initially covered around 5 hectares, expanded to 11 hectares in 1977 and then to 15.5 hectares in 2005 following a series of acquisitions. In 1998, their son Jeremy joined the estate, followed by Diana Snowden, who became his wife, in 2001, and then by his brother Alec in 2003. Jacques Seysses handed over the running of the estate to Jeremy and Alec in 2007, whilst Diana Snowden Seysses took charge of the winery. In 2011, the estate obtained organic farming certification. In 2014, it took on the lease of vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet, notably in the Premier Cru vineyards Les Folatières and Les Combettes. The estate now cultivates 17.5 hectares and remains owned by the Seysses family.
