justerini & brooks tasting note

From the oldest vines on Cathiard’s estate, 65 years old, Murgers is a vineyard on the Vosne side of Nuits that produces wines similarly silky and elegant as those of its neighbouring commune. The 2010 has that typical silkiness with perhaps a little more of the true grit of Nuits-St.-Georges than usual. This is intense and profound, boasting notes of undergrowth, dark fruit, vanilla pod, cassis, sloe, kirsch and minerals.

critic reviews

91-93/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

(from 68-year-old vines featuring a high percentage of tiny millerande grapes): Good dark red with ruby tones. Black fruits, violet and strong oak notes of bitter chocolate and coffee. Fat, thick and powerful, with terrific depth of material and enough acid/tannin structure to give shape and freshness to the creamy middle. The blackberry and licorice flavors carry through on the long, rising finish.
