The Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru lies between the village of Morey-Saint-Denis to the south and Gevrey-Chambertin to the north, where the slope is very steep (13%).
The plot varies in altitude from 284 to 309 meters. The lieu-dit faces east-southeast.
The soil changes from east to west. The reddish-brown soil in the eastern part is 40 to 50 cm thick, with some angular-to-rounded limestone fragments.
Upslope, in the western part of this Grand Cru plot, the soil is richer in fine angular limestone gravel.
Two different substrata underlie the Clos Saint-Denis. To the east, the substratum is a fine light-colored limestone, occasionally containing flint-like chert nodules (chailles).
This Premeaux limestone, crops out in beds tens of centimeters thick. To the west, where the slope is steeper, a thin layer of Comblanchien limestone scree in the form of fine angular gravel partly covers the slope.
Domaine Dujac Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2020 is a powerhouse vintage for the estate, combining the solar intensity of the warm 2020 growing season with Dujac's signature whole-cluster aromatics and structural rigor.
The 2020 presents a more concentrated, muscular, and long-lived expression of Clos Saint-Denis.
