Dujac Fils & Père Domaine Dujac Morey-Saint-Denis 2023 750ml

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Village has a pronounced stem addition on the nose: cracked black pepper and damp mulch scents percolating through the mainly red fruit. Nicely focused and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and smooth in texture with black cherries and raspberry fruit. There’s a crisp bead of acidity with a sprightly, black pepper-tinged finish. There’s a lot of typicité here, which lowers it a couple of ticks.

The 2021 Morey-Sairt-Denis Village shows the stem addition slightly more conspicuously than the Chambolle-Village, white pepper and touches of bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, lightly peppered black fruit with notes of tobacco and dark chocolate towards the finish. This gains complexity in the glass. Promising — quintessential Dujac.

Aromas of dark berries, plums, vine smoke and spices introduce the 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Village, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless wine that’s fresh, flavorful and refined. While the higher appellations tend to grab the limelight, this is a lovely bottle in the making.
