2022 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Sylvain Cathiard

2022 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Sylvain Cathiard

Aux Murgers is close to the border with Vosne, and has some of that neighbouring 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 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru is actually similar to the Aux Thorey on the nose: quite pixelated with vivacious, mineral-rich red fruit exuding transparency. The palate is well-structured and concentrated, with richer black fruit and firm grip. There’s a touch of Asian spice towards the muscular finish (perhaps due to the small berries) - this is a long-term proposition. Fabulous.

(94—96)/100

Five new barrels in nine. A lively purple colour. The bouquet shows some of the headier qualities of Vosne-Romanée allied to the ballast of Nuits-St-Georges. No black fruit notes in this wine, purely concentrated red berries backed by both acidity and tannins, leading to a fine long finish. Very satisfactory. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023.
