Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgey 1er Cru has an open-knit bouquet with red cherries and raspberry, not as complex as Lignier's top Morey Premier Crus (I might have poured it before rather than after those). The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, yet it just pulls up short on the finish.

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.
