2020 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Sylvain Cathiard

2020 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Sylvain Cathiard

Aux Murgers is close to the border with Vosne, and has some of that appellation’s signature elegance. Half the vines are over 70 years old, the other half 50+. It produces one of the most sumptuous and satin-like expressions of Nuits-St-Georges. Full-bodied and beautifully voluminous.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru has a slightly more reserved bouquet compared to the Aux Thorey, more red fruit here laced with violet and iris flower. The palate is medium-bodied with powerful red fruit laced with white pepper and allspice, grippy and dense with a finish that fans out with confidence on the finish. This will need to be cellared.
