After a brief stint in the family biscuit business, Jacques pursued winemaking, learning the craft with Gerard Potel at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or in Volnay during the 1966 and 1967 harvests. In 1968, he acquired Domaine Graillet in Morey Saint Denis, promptly renaming it Domaine Dujac, a playful nod to his own name, implying "Jacques' domain." By 1973, he had married Rosalind, who quickly became an integral part of the team.

Jacques is a leading advocate for including stems in the fermentation process, as much to avoid grape bruising during de-stemming as to incorporate the stems themselves. However, each vintage is uniquely handled based on its merits and the ripeness of the stems. This small estate quickly earned a reputation for its dedication to quality and innovative winemaking approaches.

The second generation, Jeremy and his wife Diana, joined the business in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Jeremy’s brother Alec came on board in 2003. Together, they continue to uphold the family's commitment to quality. Dujac's winemaking philosophy emphasizes terroir expression and minimal intervention, leading to organic certification in 2011.

Village wines from Chambolle Musigny and Morey Saint Denis provide an excellent introduction to the estate's style, known for their charm and approachability. Premier Cru wines from prestigious vineyards in Morey Saint Denis, Gevrey Chambertin, and Vosne Romanee, like Les Beaux Monts and Aux Malconsorts, are celebrated for their perfumed aromas, meticulous attention to detail, and silky tannins that delight even when young.

The estate's portfolio includes seven impressive Grand Cru vineyards, acquired gradually: Echezeaux and Bonnes Mares in 1969, followed by Clos de la Roche in 1970, with Chambertin and Romanee Saint Vivant added in 2005. Grand Cru wines are aged in 100% new oak, not for its flavour, but for its ability to impart a gentle, prolonged oxygenation to the wines.

Dujac Grand Cru wines are distinctive, often light in colour yet renowned for their exceptional fragrance, structure, and longevity. Clos de la Roche is robust and well-structured, featuring lovely tannins and abundant fruit. In contrast, the nearby Clos Saint Denis is similar yet more delicate, with a fine purity of fruit. In standout vintages such as 1999, 2002, 2005, and 2009, Dujac wines exemplify the pinnacle of Pinot Noir, offering seductive, silky, and complex flavours that evolve and deepen over time.
