According to Jeremy Seysses, the family began the harvest on September 23rd and proceeded slowly. Ultimately, he told me, the fruit was riper than in 2004 and 2001 but less ripe than in 2005, 2002 or 1999. "Two thousand six is a reasonably ripe, stylish vintage," he said, "but with plenty of charm. The wines will age on their balance more than on their structure. And they're very harmonious: no single feature dominates." Most of the vinifications were done with about 70% whole clusters in '06, but the Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers and Romanee-Saint-Vivant were vendange entier, and the Clos Saint-Denis and Clos de la Roche were made with nearly all of their stems. Seysses added that he expected the Dujac 2005s to be the domain's longest-lived wines, which, as veteran collectors of these wines must know, suggests that they will go on in bottle for decades.
