Domaine Dujac Morey St Denis Rouge 2019: Dark Fruit Elegance
Red 13.5% ABV ABV DujacExpected more for £125
Bit disappointed if I'm honest. It's a perfectly nice Pinot Noir — cherry fruit, some cinnamon spice, smooth tannins. But I kept waiting for that moment where it all clicks and justifies the price tag. Never quite happened for me. Would rather spend £60 on two bottles of something else.
Classy stuff for a birthday
Got this as a birthday present from my brother who knows way more about wine than me. Really liked the earthy savoury thing going on underneath the fruit. Felt like a proper grown-up wine. Not sure I'd buy it myself at that price but glad I got to try it.
Really lovely Burgundy
Picked this up for our anniversary dinner and it was a real treat. Beautiful cherry and raspberry on the nose, and the finish just goes on and on. Silky smooth tannins too. At £125 it's not an everyday wine but for a special occasion it delivered.
Dujac just gets Pinot Noir
Saw this on a wine list and couldn't resist. The precision on the nose is gorgeous — pure raspberry and cherry without being jammy at all. And those silky tannins are classic Dujac. Yes it's pricey but this is proper Morey-Saint-Denis and you can taste the terroir. Had it with duck breast, absolutely lovely.
That finish though
Ok so I'm still fairly new to Burgundy but this was really interesting. You get plum and leather on the finish that just keeps going. Opened it with some roast lamb and it was perfect. Expensive but I get why people love Dujac.
Solid Burgundy, not mindblowing
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special for a dinner party. It's elegant for sure — red cherry, earthy notes, really smooth. But at this price point I wanted it to knock my socks off and it didn't quite get there. Still enjoyed it though.
Nice but overpriced honestly
Had this at a restaurant and it was good — lovely red fruit, bit of spice, nice and smooth. But for what you're paying I expected more wow factor. I've had Pinot Noirs at half the price that got me just as excited.
