Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2024 750ml

Product Info

One of Burgundy's most celebrated estates, Domaine Dujac has produced some of the Côte de Nuits' most sought-after Pinot Noirs since its founding by Jacques Seysses in 1968. Clos de la Roche is among the domaine's flagship Grand Crus, renowned for combining remarkable depth and structure with the aromatic complexity and elegance that define the Dujac style.

Dujac's substantial 1.95-hectare holding encompasses several parcels across this prestigious Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis. The limestone-rich soils contribute to a wine of distinctive mineral character, while the domaine's signature whole-cluster fermentation lends aromatic complexity, spice, and beautifully integrated structure.

The 2024 Clos de la Roche is an exceptional achievement in a challenging Burgundy vintage. Aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, dark cherry, violet, peony, and subtle orange peel unfold alongside delicate herbal and savory notes. The palate is wonderfully expressive, offering vibrant red and blue fruits, fine powdery tannins, and a striking combination of freshness, concentration, and precision. An underlying mineral tension carries through to a remarkably persistent, saline finish.

Neal Martin of Vinous identifies this as a potential standout among Dujac's 2024 wines, awarding 94–96 points and highlighting its purity, aromatic lift, and impressive harmony. Tim Atkin awards 96 points, recognizing its powerful yet beautifully proportioned character.

A compelling expression of Clos de la Roche, marrying the vineyard's natural authority with Dujac's unmistakable finesse. While its aromatic appeal may make it tempting in youth, this is a serious Grand Cru with the structure and balance to reward patient cellaring.
