I tasted this year with vineyard manager Christophe Morin, to whom Jacques Seysses has generously given much of the credit for improvements at this domain since the late '80s. Morin describes the Dujac '95s as more powerful, structured wines with significant aging potential. 1996, he says, is rounder, more charming, more fruity-not as structured and lower in acidity. The domain counted the berries prior to veraison to predict the size of the harvest, and then cut bunches in August in all the plots, leaving seven per vine. Even so, yields were high. Beginning in '95, but more so in '96 and '97, Domaine Dujac has introduced cover crop in the vineyards to stress the vines slightly and improve the biological condition of the soil. The ultimate objective is to get greater expression of terroir The '96s had been racked for the second time about two weeks prior to my visit but were still on their fine lees. Seysses felt that the extra racking was necessary because the wines were not sufficiently clear.
