Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgey 1er Cru sported a tiny reduction on the nose, although there is clearly plenty of fruit packed into this wine. The palate is quite sweet and candied on the entry with orange zest and dark plum, slightly chocolaty towards the finish that has just the right amount of bitterness, though just misses length on the aftertaste.

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.
