I was quite disappointed as Dujac is one of my favorite wines and
their Clos de la Roche a personal favorite of mine too. I have
visited a number of times and The Seyesse family is a perfect blend of
traditional French Burgundian tradition with dash of American
exuberence. Visiting there is always a treat.
