The 2021 Dujac Fils & Pere Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras is a Pinot Noir from the Cote de Nuits region in Burgundy, France. This red wine has garnered praise from several professional reviewers for its complex aroma and robust structure.

Decanter awarded this wine a score of 92, noting its structured and firm profile that avoids being angular or rustic. They highlight the wine's "ripe plummy fruit" and notes of "mineral, spice, and smoke," which contribute to a lingering, pleasant finish. The wine is sourced from a prime mid-slope plot, valued by winemaker Jeremy Seysses for its quality grapes.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also rated the wine 92 points, describing it as having aromas of "rose petals, raspberries, plums, orange zest and spices." The medium-bodied wine is praised for its "supple and seamless palate" and concludes with a "mouthwatering, perfumed finish."

Jasper Morris, from Inside Burgundy, provided the highest score with a 93. He describes the wine as having a "good depth of medium purple colour" and notes a "reductive nose" with a slightly spicy and peppery character. The wine is characterized by "dark raspberries with a strawberry high note," and some acidity that includes a rhubarb note, which could suggest variable ripeness leading to "fascinating aromatics in maturity."

It offers a vibrant array of fruit and spice notes, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate the nuanced character of Burgundy wines.
