Dujac has always had a special place in my heart … ever since the beginning of my Burgundy interest, I have loved the drinkability I find in a good Dujac wine.
Especially the whole-cluster-dominated wines have touched my soul and expanded my joy of Pinot
As a side note: I have followed Dujac’s wines since the early 1990s. I’ve tasted many that are even older, including a delightful 1976 Clos Saint-Denis that is a benchmark for hot vintages. So, Dujac, for me, is like a home away from home. One can always find comfort in a Dujac wine. It’s a safe haven, so to speak.
The elephant in the room is the amount of whole clusters – as it is pretty clear that Dujac has increased the whole-cluster element and, at the same time, reduced the impression of oak significantly.
The result feels a bit like a return to old-school Dujac expression from when Jeremy’s father, Jacques, made his tremendous wines.
What can I say – it’s clearly modernised … but the energetic feel is back, and it works …, and in 2025 it works brilliantly … so much that Dujac now are in the top tier of vin d`èmotion … and with nothing more needed to be said … I love the 2025s
Enough talk. Let’s taste!
Wines were tasted at the domaine on November 5th, 2026.
Domaine Dujac Chambolle-Musigny 2025
The Chambolle village is not really unfolding currently … oak a bit too forward, and the extraction is covering some of the wonderful Chambolle terroir. Like I said in 2023 – Powerful rather than delicate – it will come around, it always does – the Dujac Chambolle.
(Drink from 2034) – Very Good (90) – 
Domaine Dujac Morey-Saint-Denis 2025
This is a textbook whole-cluster Dujac. Silky and charming fruit … wow, very delicate and sensual … one of the best Moreys I have tasted from Dujac ever. Let’s just enjoy the 2025s … they are in many ways the pinnacle of what can be made in Burgundy under global warming.
(Drink from 2032) – Very Good (90-91p) – 
Domaine Dujac Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Saints Juliens 2025
A new vineyard for Dujac (they also made it in 2005) – the terroir comes from Etienne Montille, and is therefore already showing well. Has this spicy/perfumed note of red berries and a minerality coming from iron content in the soil. One of my favorite villages in NSG … welcome to Jeremy and his team.
(Drink from 2034) – Very Good (90-91p) – 
Domaine Dujac Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 2025
The Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is a lovely wine with the whole cluster coming to full benefit. Morey is often begging for this lift of energy and tension. A lovely wine, but the competition is hard within this lineup.
(Drink from 2034) – Fine (92-93p) –
Domaine Dujac Nuis-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 2025
The Aux Thorey is a bit backward and darkly constituted. A quite classic Thorey … there is clearly potential here … give it time.
(Drink from 2036) – Fine (92p) –
Domaine Dujac Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers 2025
The area in Les Gruenchers has been expanded … hence this lovely 1er cru has reached a level where it can be a part of the normal offering … and not, like before, for selected clients. This is a true treat … love this vineyard for its silky and energetic feel … very vibrant and with a lovely tension. This is the vineyard providing the material for the Dujac Massale.
(Drink from 2034) – Very Good (93p) –
