DOMAINE DUJAC Morey-Saint-Denis - Cote de Nuits, France 2018 Bottle

Description

The Seysses family’s signature use of whole-cluster fermentation is evident, imparting a complex aromatic profile of dried rose petals, exotic spices, and forest floor, layered over a core of ripe red cherries. The 2018 vintage, known for its warmth and generosity, provides a plush and rounded texture that makes the wine remarkably approachable in its youth.

On the palate, the wine is silky and expansive, with fine-grained tannins providing a graceful structure. The vibrant fruit is balanced by a refreshing lift, leading to a long, perfumed finish. This bottling demonstrates the elegance and depth typical of Dujac, offering significant pleasure now while possessing the balance to age beautifully.

"The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries and red berries mingled with nuances of rose petals, orange rind, cinnamon and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, muscular and structured, with lively acids, fine concentration and a youthfully chalky finish."
