In ___, Jacques purchased Domaine Graillet, a small domaine in the village of Morey-St-Denis. He renamed the winery whimsically after himself as the domaine of Jac, or Domaine Dujac. He became a leading advocate of including a good amount of stems in the fermentation process, His belief was that the mature stems actually reduced the amount of hard tannins in the resulting wine. In addition he wanted to avoid bruising the grapes during the destemming process. The cellars are underground and modest. They have been extended recently to achieve cooler temperatures which enable the malolactic fermentation to happen later thus reducing the number of rackings required.

Clos de la ___ Grand Cru and Clos ___Grand Cru were the first two vineyard parcels Jacques Seysses purchased in 1968. They remain benchmark examples of wine made from these vineyards. As time went on, the domaine continued to expand when other parcels became available
