RATINGS

92-93The Wine Advocate

Quite creamy in texture, with chalky, smoky, brown spice, and floral inner-mouth character, this acts like a Nuits that could be Vosne. The combination of clarity with creaminess in the finish is uncanny.

91-93Burghound.com

...a spicy mix of warm earth, underbrush, ripe pinot fruit and just a hint of the sauvage that is also present on the nuanced and admirably deep flavors that beautifully combine both power and delineation on the strikingly long finish.

90-93Stephen Tanzer

Sweet and juicy in the mouth, with sappy flavors of raspberry and flowers. Perhaps strongest today on the firmly tannic, persistent finish, which offers lovely lingering sweetness.

18Jancis Robinson

Lovely, elegant palate full of full bloom fruit. Very, very expressive with real beginning, middle and end. Lovely appetising freshness on the end.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Aux Murgers

Aux Mergers is a 12.2-acre vineyard in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote-de-Nuits. It is near the northern boundary of Nuits-Saints-Georges, at an average elevation of 270 meters. The soil is limestone, quite a bit of gravel and some sand. Wine writers note that the wines from these northern Nuits-Saint-Georges vineyards have a hint of Vosne about them, since they are so close to the Vosne-Romanee appellation. Because there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saints-Georges, the appellation’s considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
