The Dujac Fils et Père Gevrey-Chambertin captures everything that makes the village iconic — structure, depth, and that unmistakable earthy resonance — while expressing it through the lifted, silken frame that defines the Dujac style. It’s Gevrey through a lens of refinement rather than brute strength, a study in how precision and texture can elevate power into grace.
The fruit is sourced from a selection of well-sited parcels across Gevrey-Chambertin, grown by long-standing growers who work closely with the Seysses family. The soils here are classic Burgundian limestone and clay, with scattered stones that enhance drainage and lend the wines their mineral backbone. All fruit is hand-harvested, with each lot vinified separately at the Dujac cellar in Morey-Saint-Denis, ensuring full control from grape to bottle.
Winemaking follows the same principles as the domaine wines: whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts, gentle extraction, and élevage in French oak barrels (typically 20–30% new). The goal is to retain purity and aromatic lift, allowing Gevrey’s natural power to unfold slowly rather than be forced into expression.
In the glass, the wine opens with dark cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, followed by hints of savoury spice, earth, and graphite. The palate is supple yet structured — ripe fruit framed by fine, chalky tannins and a mineral edge that stretches the finish. It has presence without weight, showing the balance and energy that mark all Dujac wines.
While approachable within a few years of release, this Gevrey-Chambertin rewards patience, developing with time into layers of truffle, forest floor, and smoky spice that echo the great terroirs of the Côte de Nuits.
Elegant, transparent, and quietly confident, Dujac Fils et Père’s Gevrey-Chambertin is a reminder that true Burgundy doesn’t need to shout — it simply needs to be understood.
