WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis is crafted using Domaine Dujac's signature non-interventionist approach. Grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts, often employing whole-bunch fermentation for about two weeks. Extraction is gentle, using methods like light punching down and pumping over. After fermentation, the wine is transferred by gravity to the cellar for aging. The wine spends 14 to 18 months in oak barrels, with a notable percentage of new oak used to refine tannins and add complexity. The estate is certified organic and follows biodynamic principles.
