Investment Tips - Burgundy - 2. November 2021

Dujac has provided investors with +12-49 % in less than 20 months. Invest in 2008 Dujac Chambertin

Elite producer, prestige brand, and production that, according to Burghound, is only half as big in the 2008 vintage than usual...

Subtle Burgundy Duet For Investment

Domaine Dujac is, fortunately, a familiar name in the RareWine Invest world, and now you have the opportunity to invest in extremely limited production Chambertin drops. You can even choose both regular bottles in whole cases - or you can choose Magnum.   

In this investment case you can learn more about the 2008 vintage, but most of all you will learn a lot more about Dujac and Chambertin. And why these two form a superb duet - a duet for which we see a great future.   

Domaine Dujac: The Reputation Jack Built

In 1968, Domaine Dujac was founded by Jacques Seysses from the poor remains of the Graillet domain in Morey-Saint-Denis. He renamed the domain Domaine Dujac, which translated means "the house Jack owns". 

From the beginning, Seysses had great respect for the art of winemaking and with a good dose of hard work, he has managed to create a domain that delivers very high-quality wine. Biodynamics and ecology are two important elements in Dujac's winemaking, but in fact respect for the terroir is the absolute priority. This means that there is a strong focus on preserving a varied, living, and natural ecosystem in Dujac's winemaking.  

This focus, according to Dujac, is a crucial ingredient in producing world-class wines.   

Jack did not just build a house. He built a worldwide reputation. That is why today Domaine Dujac is synonymous with prestige. And that is why the world's wine lovers crave Dujac.

Chambertin Grand Cru - Gold In Droplets

Domaine Dujac owns about 15 hectares of vineyards in Burgundy spread around Morey-Saint-Denis. On these 15 hectares, Dujac has as many as seven grand cru vineyards, from which spectacular wines are produced. One of these vineyards is Chambertin, and we dare say that every winemaker dream of belonging here.  

The entire Chambertin measures about 15 hectares, where also Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Leroy reside. Out of these 15 hectares, Dujac disposes of 0,73 hectares. Even in very little space, gold can be produced in droplets.  

 

How Much Wine Can You Get From 0.73 Hectares?

Armand Rousseau is responsible for 1/6 of the production at Chambertin with around 10,000 bottles annually. This is minimal production in itself. Domaine Dujac produces about 1,500 bottles a year from its 0.73 hectares, so it is an almost invisible production.   

All indications are that the production of the 2008 vintage was even more limited.  According to Allan Meadows of Burghound, only about 0.29 hectares of Dujac's Chambertin parcels were used in the domain's Chambertin from this vintage.  

With less than half of the parcel in use, this is obviously an extremely minimal production for the 2008 vintage. A producer who has built a worldwide reputation dressed in high quality will no doubt be sought after. With production virtually invisible, demand will only increase. 

... When You Thought It Could Not Get "Worse"

The Chambertin offering from Dujac is minimal and this is a unique opportunity to secure suitable volumes for your portfolio. In fact, according to wine-searcher.com, there are currently no whole cases of 2008 Dujac Chambertin available at all.

Dujac, Yes Please

The tables above highlight why Dujac is almost always very welcome in the investment world. The growth speaks for itself, which is why we expect this 2008 vintage to have a short visit but solid visit.  

You will even have the opportunity to invest in 2008 Dujac Chambertin in Magnum size. Out of the already extremely limited 2008 production, even fewer magnum bottles are produced. These are more expensive because the supply is smaller, but also because the aging potential is greater than for the regular bottles.  

In the present investment tip, you can choose the one that best suits your portfolio and temperament. 

RareWine Invest's Opinion

Sometimes the investment arguments are so many that they almost trip over each other to get to the finish line first. That is the case here, which is why we are thrilled to offer the 2008 Dujac Chambertin for investment.   

Domaine Dujac has already cemented its place among the world's best wine producers. That makes demand sky-high. Here we are even dealing with extremely limited production from a fantastic vineyard in Burgundy. And here available in quantities, whole boxes, and perfect condition - ideal for investment. 

At RareWine Invest, Dujac has also performed fantastically in both regular bottles and magnums, and our expectations remain high for both Dujac and Chambertin.
