2023 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Sylvain Cathiard

2023 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, Sylvain Cathiard

Cellar Circle Exclusive

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 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru has a little more precision on the nose than the Aux Thorey, with a touch more mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip and fine, quite saturated tannins. There is decent weight on the finish. This is approachable, but will repay cellaring.

(92—94)/100

More ruby than crimson. The fruit is a little more restrained, but perhaps fresher than the Thorey, more in raspberry and cherry. This continues on a well-rounded palate with just a little youthful bitterness to add a level of tension. Will take a little longer to come round. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted Nov 2024.
