justerini & brooks tasting note

Backward but deep. Earthy mineral notes along with dark smooth fruit. Great freshness but this needs time. A little brooding, though it’s well-proportioned, has energy and shows great potential. A vineyard on the northern (Vosne) side of the Nuits appellation that yields similarly silky wines to that of its neighbour. The vines were planted in 1965 and 1972 so produce intense concentrated wines that need plenty of élevage in new oak barriques and then bottle age to reveal their complexity. Aged in 50% new oak barrels and de-stemmed.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru has a focused, precise bouquet that feels neatly integrated with the new oak (around 60%). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, expressive and certainly pretty, delivering plenty of tension on the quite persistent finish. Delightful.
