Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgey 1er Cru has an airy bouquet with high-toned blueberry and black cherry fruit laced with violet and peony. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, well judged acidity, quite high-toned with a very sweet finish that just needs a little more restraint and more Pinoté. Not bad, but I might just prefer the 2018.

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.
