Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 29 Dec 17
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers has a precise bouquet, tightly wound at the moment with black cherry, boysenberry and cold stone aromas, much more backward than the Aux Thorey. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, tightly knit and focused, tensile with a precise, quite pointed, sorbet-fresh finish. There is something clockwork about this Murgers—every component synchronized the other.

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 30 Nov 17
50% new oak. 70-year-old vines. Never any whole bunch. Very dark and a little charry. Lovely freshness here and has power and a slight austerity but plenty of fruit. Very very dark and a bit sombre but there’s freshness at the core. Withheld and dark fruited and savoury on the finish. Finesse but not much charm. (JH)

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
