Morey-Saint-Denis Domaine Dujac

France, 2002

A rarity - a white burgundy from Morey-Saint-Denis, the most northern village in the Cotes de Nuits - better known for their reds, and where most of the Grands Crus are located. Dujac is named simply for its proprietor, Jacques Seysses, who still makes the wine along with his son Jeremy, who is in charge of the white wine production. This wine is a firmly structured example of what excellent Burgundy can and should be: judicious use of new oak frames a smoky, nutty and mineral core, giving up aromas of nut butter, toffee and fresh cream. A complex finish unfolds with layers of spice, tea, french vanilla, lime and baked apple. A real stunner! (Cellar temperature, please allow ten minutes to chill)
