Alain Hudelot-Noellat
Les Murgers Nuits-St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Nuits St. Georges, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
CNY day 2 at Manjie’s.
Smoky herbal, slightly peppery notes on the nose. Mealy tannins. High acidity.
The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers is very promising, opening in the glass with notes of smoked duck, sweet cherry and peony. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with a deep core of ripe fruit, juicy acids and an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins that is beginning to assert itself on the finish. Forget this for the better part of a decade, then reap the rewards. RP92+, drink 2024-2045
