Aux Murgers Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir

One of the more accessible and expressive 05’s I’ve had in a while, Cathiard’s Vosne-esque Aux Murgers is open and giving wafting perfumed and spice laced dark berry fruit with violets, black tea and damp earth. The palate is pure silk, elegant and seductive, perhaps even belying the burly vintage typicity, with terrific persistence, balanced acids and soft tannins. An 05 that is finally ready to go! Beautiful wine.

Absolutely gorgeous and approachable 2005 Cathiard. Almost blue in color, dense nose of blackberries, blueberries, asian spice, some stems, hint of licorice. Lush fruit yet pure and elegant with pretty tannins and great length. Super bottle.
