With only 0.17 ha of Richemone and 0.27 ha of Aux Cras, the Mugneret family had always blended both parcels, and because the two crus were allowed to be labelled as Boudots, that’s what they did. “But it always felt uncomfortable for me,” says Pascal. “We talked about Aux Boudots but when people asked where my vines were located, I had to answer, ‘well, they are not actually in Boudots.’” Since 2017, Pascal has bottled the two crus separately.We have always thought of Aux Cras as one of the best premier crus in Nuits Saint Georges. When you get to this part of the appellation it is not always easy to tell it apart from Vosne-Romanée in a blind tasting. Aux Cras is in the family of Malconsorts: it is built on core and minerality. And that is what we love about it. 

William Kelley:
"The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras is velvety and suave, bursting with aromas of cherries, plums and berries mingled with spices, petals and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with a deep core of fruit, bright acids and a mineral finish, it's one of the high points of the range once again."
