RATINGS

95Decanter Magazine (points)

Displays a very deep colour and a dark plum fruit, with savoury, animal and earthy notes...the palate sports a supple texture and great finesse...marvellous wine...

93-95The Wine Advocate

...excellent, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries and plums mingled with woodsmoke, loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with lively acids and a long, rose-inflected finish...

93-95Vinous / IWC

...gentle nose, beautifully defined, a mixture of red and blueberry fruit, wilted violet and light undergrowth scents, gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, but firm tannins, fine acidity, quite grippy with firm backbone on the finish with a tang of black pepper on the finish.

91-94Burghound.com

A slightly riper nose is composed by notes of rose petal, violet, earth, poached plum and dark berry liqueur-like scents. There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension to the delineated, tautly muscular and intensely mineral-driven flavors...

17.5Jancis Robinson

Raspberries and flowers on the nose; blood orange and citrus in the mouth. Firm structure of refined tannins, and a persistence that runs on.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Aux Cras

Aux Cras is a 7.5 acre Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saints-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is near the northern boundary of Nuits-Saints-Georges, at an average elevation of 270 meters. The soil is limestone and gravel. Some wine writers note that the wines from these northern Nuits-Saint-Georges vineyards have a hint of Vosne about them, since they are so close to the Vosne-Romanee appellation. Because there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saints-Georges, the appellation’s considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
