Domaine Dujac
Jacques Seysses founded Domaine Dujac in 1968. As he is not from Burgundy, he became a vine grower by vocation. The main culprit for his love of wine is his father, a great gourmant and passionate wine lover. With it, Jacques was lucky enough to visit the greatest vine growers at that time from an early age. After several years working in the family biscuit factory, at the age of 25 he decided to leave and pursue winemaking. He learned the craft from Gérard Potel at the Pousse d'Or mansion in Volnay with the harvests of 1966 and 1967. In 1968, he bought the Grayer estate in Moray-Saint-Denis, which he renamed Domaine Dujac. Jeremy Seisses joined his parents at the mansion in 1998, followed by his wife Diana and brother Alec. The three form the new generation, which under the watchful eye of Jacques and Rosalind (Jacques' wife) now runs the domain and in 2011 received a certificate for organic farming. From 5 hectares in 1968, the estate gradually grew to 15.5 hectares in 2005. Over the years, the estate extends beyond the historic establishment of Moray-Saint-Denis and produces wines in both Côte de Nuit and Côte de Beaune. , renting vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet (1st Crus Folatières and Combettes).

Burgundy
In this area, red wines are produced from one variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually vary in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its small vineyards and it is generally believed that the smaller the area of the vineyard, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of only 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuit to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Cotê de Nuits is in the red wines - 95% of Pinot Noir grapes are produced here. Of course, here are some of the best, able to age, the most exotic and expensive wines. The Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red wine and 2% sparkling wine. The white wine variety is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality varies from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former are traditionally aged in small oak barrels, while Macon wines are usually lighter in character and have a good value for money. The red wines from Beaune do not have the fame of their "brothers" from Côte de Nuit, with exceptions here are those who come from Pomard, Corton and Volney. In general, they are lighter in style, but depending on the harvest they can show potential that successfully competes with the Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
