Morey St Denis blanc 2024 Domaine Dujac

The Morey Saint Denis Blanc 2024 from Domaine Dujac is a rarity from the Côte de Nuits, a terroir almost entirely given over to Pinot Noir. Crafted by one of Burgundy's most admired estates, this chiselled and luminous white offers remarkable freshness and finesse. This bottle qualifies for the Compagnon rank of the Confrérie des Clos Vivants.

Terroir and vineyards
Morey Saint Denis lies at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, between Gevrey Chambertin and Chambolle Musigny, and produces only a very small proportion of white wine. Domaine Dujac planted its Chardonnay on shallow, stony limestone and marl soils in a cool sector of the village. This terroir yields taut, mineral whites of great purity. The estate farms organically with biodynamic practices and harvests by hand. In 2024, a cool and demanding vintage produced small yields and wines of great precision.

Tasting profile
The colour is pale, bright gold. The nose opens on lemon, green apple and pear, with notes of white flowers, fresh almond and a touch of chalk. The palate is straight and lively, with a fine texture carried by luminous acidity. The finish is saline and clean. It is already a pleasure to drink and will evolve over five to eight years.

The estate
Founded in 1967 by Jacques Seysses in Morey Saint Denis, Domaine Dujac quickly established itself as one of the great references of the Côte de Nuits. It holds vines in prestigious climats such as Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint Denis, Chambertin and Romanée Saint Vivant. Today Jeremy and Alec Seysses, with Diana Seysses, carry forward a style built on elegance, purity and transparency of terroir. Its rare whites are highly sought after.

Food and wine pairings
Serve between 10 and 12 °C. It pairs beautifully with snails in parsley butter, gougères, pike perch fillet in beurre blanc, pan seared scallops or poultry with morels. Among cheeses, it works very well with an 18 month Comté or an aged goat's cheese.
