This wine is the finest of the negociant offerings from Dujac — easily tops even the Chambolle. There is a marvellous forward blackberry and mulberry fruit aroma with a hint of exotic earth and game aromas. The texture is pure velvet, plump with extract and deliciously sweet fruit through the lingering finish. The grapes, sourced from a mid-slope plot near Vosne, are fermented mostly as whole clusters prior to ageing in cask to produce this excellent wine

(91-94 points) Fine purple, a little more reduction. Darker cherry fruit, then with a more evident white pepper spice. Floral notes on top of the dark fruit, seamless across the palate, not overstated but fine and long with a detailed suave yet refreshing finish.

(90-92 points) Supple and perfumed, the 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras delivers aromas of plums, raw cocoa, vine smoke, orange rind and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure and seamless palate. This will offer a broad drinking window.
