Domaine Dujac
Jacques Seysses founded Domaine Dujac in 1968. Not being from Burgundy, he became a winegrower by vocation. His love of wine came to him alongside his father, a great foodie and a passionate wine lover. Jacques thus visited with him the greatest winegrowers of the time from an early age. After a few years spent working in the family biscuit factory, at the age of 25, he decided to quit the business world. He learned winemaking with Gérard Potel at the Pousse d'Or estate in Volnay during the 1966 and 1967 harvests. In 1968, he bought the Graillet estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, which he renamed Domaine Dujac (contraction of ' du Jacques'). In 1973, he married Rosalind who quickly became essential. Jeremy Seysses joined his parents at the estate in 1998. He was followed by his wife Diana in 2001 and his brother Alec in 2003. All three form the new generation which, under the watchful eye of Jacques and Rosalind, now watches over destiny. of the domain. Committed to the same quality approach as their elders, they have been able to develop the farm: this was particularly the case with the cultivation approach, which resulted in obtaining certification for organic farming in 2011.
From 5 hectares in 1968 the estate gradually grew to 11 hectares in 1977, then 15.5 hectares in 2005, partly following a major acquisition. Over the years, the estate has thus extended outside the historic establishment of Morey-Saint-Denis and produces wines both in Côte de Nuits and in Côte de Beaune after the takeover, in 2014, of vines. rented in Puligny-Montrachet (1st Crus Folatières and Combettes).
