- TASTING NOTE: "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." 90-92 Points - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Domaine Dujac was founded in 1967 by Jacques Seysses when he purchased a small estate in Morey-St-Denis, Domaine Graillet, and renamed it after himself. Jacques farther was a wealthy biscuit baron and had instilled a love of fine wine into Jacques who had already apprenticed with Gerard Potel at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or. in 1971 Jacques met his future wife Rosalind, an American girl who had come to work the vintage and ended up staying for life. Their sons Jeremy and Alec, and Jeremy's wife Diana now run the winery, with Diana in charge of the winemaking. The original 5.5ha Morey-St Denis estate now covers over 15ha and includes holdings in Puligny Montrachet. Vineyard practices have been certified organic since 2012, with biodynamic inputs being used since 2008. Dujac's wines are noted for their exceptional fragrance, structure and longevity. With holdings in seven Grand Crus, Duajc is today one of Burgundy's leading Domaines. In 2000 they set up a new negotiant line, Dujac Fils & Père, in order to create more accessible wines with an emphasis on fruit. They maintain the same quality standards for these wines as for those of the Estate and the wine-making process is conducted with the same care. These wines are generally ready to drink a bit earlier than the wines from the Domaine.
