Jacques Seysses founded the domaine in 1967, buying vines in Morey-Saint-Denis with no family inheritance behind him and naming the estate after his own nickname, \"du Jac.\" From the start his winemaking was thoughtful but non-interventionist, and the cellar became a magnet for talent — early interns included Ted Lemon of Littorai. Today the next generation farms an enviable spread of grand and premier crus across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, and the wines remain highly collectible: perfumed, transparent, and built to age.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jeremy Seysses and Diana Snowden Seysses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic (since 2011), with biodynamic practices employed in the vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir (100%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aux Combottes 1er Cru sits on the Gevrey-Chambertin\/Morey border in the Côte de Nuits, ringed by grand crus — Latricières-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche among them. Dujac holds roughly 1.16 ha here, the largest single parcel, planted to old vines. The site faces due east at about 271–282 m elevation on a gentle slope, over brown limestone soils of crinoidal limestone (calcaire à Entroques) and bedded limestone scree, giving wines that marry Gevrey structure with Chambolle-like lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermented with indigenous yeasts and a high proportion of whole clusters, the house signature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Élevage in French oak barrels with a measured proportion of new wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral-driven red fruit with iris and violet florals and a hint of sous-bois.
