The 2008 Morey St. Denis is an impeccable, totally elegant wine graced with exquisite finesse in its aromas and flavors. Silky tannins round out the fragrant finish.
The 2008 Morey St. Denis is an impeccable, totally elegant wine graced with exquisite finesse in its aromas and flavors. Silky tannins round out the fragrant finish. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. This is a beautiful set of wines from Dujac. The harvest started on September 10 and ended on the 17th. Jeremy Seysses told me he wanted to pick on the early side in order to preserve freshness. In a similar vein, Seysses kept the fermentations short and gentle to avoid over-extracting. I also tasted a handful of 2008s, which are beautiful wines that are true to type and site. In 2008 the estate finished its conversion to fully organic farming originally started in 2001. Dujac fans have a lot to look forward to in these two vintages.

Good medium red. Musky soil tones and black raspberry on the nose. Supple, spicy and sweet, with sound underlying minerality contributing to the impression of concentration. Finishes bright and long, with pronounced terroir character. Very good for this village wine.
