Nuits St Georges, Aux Murgers, 1er Cru, 2008
justerini & brooks tasting note
Excellent. Powerful Nuits but complete and well-rounded, a fine backbone supports the elegant, deep, minerally flavours and layer upon layer of ripe black cherry and hedgerow fruit.

91-94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Deep, bright red-ruby. Captivating mineral lift to the aromas of black fruits and spices; I might have picked this as coming from Vosne. Fresh, balanced and sharply delineated, with intense dark fruit flavors enlivened by a floral element. Finishes long and vibrant, with very suave tannins. These 65-year-old vines are the estate's oldest, along with their Romanee-Saint-Vivant.
