Jasper Morris, 90-93 Points 

"A good depth of medium purple colour. A reductive nose. Slightly spicy, and peppery, with delicious dark fruit. Lively crunchy fruit, dark raspberries with a strawberry high note. Some acidity, with a rhubarb note, so I suspect variable ripeness – which of course can lead to fascinating aromatics in maturity. Drink from 2026-2031." 

Decanter, 92 Points 

"The wine is structured and firm, yet it is neither angular nor rustic, and it finishes with a lingering weight on the palate that is very pleasant. The nose is slightly closed initially with a bit of reduction that will disappear with racking. The dark-hued wine opens well on the palate, however, with a ripe plummy fruit and notes of mineral, spice, and smoke. The wine is from grapes purchased from one of Jeremey Seysses’ favourite suppliers, who farms this prime mid-slope plot near the border with Vosne down-slope from Damodes." 

John Gilman, 92 Points 

"The premier cru les Cras bottling from Dujac Fils et Père is nicely red fruity in personality this year, offering up scents of cherries, nutskin, gamebird, sweet stem tones, woodsmoke, coffee, vanillin oak and a fine base of soil. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely reserved in personality, with a good core, fine soil signature, ripe tannins and a long, balanced and focused finish. This will be lovely in due course. 2033-2075+." 

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

"The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras has turned out very well, offering up aromas of rose petals, raspberries, plums, orange zest and spices, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and seamless palate that's fleshy and melting, concluding with a mouthwatering, perfumed finish."
