How Dujac makes its Clos de la Roche

The estate’s first vintage was 1969, and by 2005 the estate had grown from 5 ha to 15.5 ha. Grapes are vinified with little or no destemming depending on the vintage, using only indigenous yeasts, and the wines are aged 14 to 18 months in oak barrels with a significant proportion of new oak.

Organic experiments began on 4 ha in 2001; the whole estate was farmed organically by 2008 and was certified organic in 2011. The estate introduced biodynamic practices in 2003.
