Dujac Fils et Père Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras 2024 is a Pinot Noir from the Aux Cras premier cru climat in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Dujac Fils et Père itself is the Seysses family’s négociant project—launched in 2000 by Jeremy and Jacques Seysses of Domaine Dujac—built around purchasing fruit from trusted growers and applying the same detailed approach associated with the domaine.

Aux Cras is frequently described in terroir terms that help set expectations for structure and drive. The vineyard is a sizable premier cru site—about 28 acres (11 hectares)—on a notably stony slope; the name “Cras” is often linked to an old term meaning “rocky hill” or “stony slope.” In other words, it is a provenance that tends to suit Pinot Noir with firmness as well as perfume.

Production and élevage details for the 2024 bottling were not confirmed in the material provided. However, estate-facing technical notes commonly associated with this cuvée (from non-2024 sources) describe a method centered on crushed grapes, fermentation, aging in “50% new French oak barrels,” and bottling “without filtration whenever possible” (as reported in merchant technical material). Treat that as general house style rather than a 2024-specific guarantee.

The most important context for the 2024 vintage is the season itself. JamesSuckling.com characterizes 2024 in Burgundy as extremely wet, with “relentless rain, humidity, and fierce mildew pressure,” and sharply reduced yields. The same report notes that the best 2024 reds in the region lean “light, transparent, and classically Burgundian,” with alcohol levels “mostly between 12 and 13 percent,” prioritizing “balance, finesse, and fluidity.”

No professional critic reviews or scores for the 2024 Dujac Fils et Père Aux Cras were available in the supplied research, so there are no “excellent” 2024-rated reviews to cite here. For buyers, that makes vintage conditions and producer track record the main guideposts until bottle tastings emerge.
