The Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru lies between the village of Morey-Saint-Denis to the south and Gevrey-Chambertin to the north, where the slope is very steep (13%).
The plot varies in altitude from 284 to 309 meters. The lieu-dit faces east-southeast.
The soil changes from east to west. The reddish-brown soil in the eastern part is 40 to 50 cm thick, with some angular-to-rounded limestone fragments.
Upslope, in the western part of this Grand Cru plot, the soil is richer in fine angular limestone gravel.
Two different substrata underlie the Clos Saint-Denis. To the east, the substratum is a fine light-colored limestone, occasionally containing flint-like chert nodules (chailles).
This Premeaux limestone, crops out in beds tens of centimeters thick. To the west, where the slope is steeper, a thin layer of Comblanchien limestone scree in the form of fine angular gravel partly covers the slope.
Domaine Dujac Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2021 is a benchmark expression of Morey-Saint-Denis, combining Dujac’s signature whole-cluster vinification with the aromatic elegance of this iconic Grand Cru vineyard.
2021 Vintage Profile & Terroir
The 2021 Burgundy vintage was cool, challenging, and late-harvested, yielding wines defined by high acidity, lower alcohol, exceptional transparency, and classic floral aromatics.
Dujac’s Clos Saint-Denis parcel (sourced across Les Chaffots, Calouère, and the core Clos Saint-Denis lieu-dit) produced a remarkably refined, ethereal wine despite the low yields of the vintage.
