RATINGS

92-93+ The Wine Advocate

.Displaying beautiful, pure cassis fruit with adjuncts of pralines, sage oil,& sea salt, dense and marrowy in the mouth, it finishes with intense cassis, roasted meat, and subtle chalk & salt minerality. The tannins are extremely refined..

90-93Stephen Tanzer

...Densely packed and powerful if a bit youthfully sullen, with a dominant flavor of bitter chocolate. Showing less detail today than the Boudots, but this big, rich wine possesses sound acids and strong tannins..

90-92Burghound.com

...aromatic profile of red and black fruit, underbrush, game and iron-infused earth that is strong to the point of pungency and leads to rich but detailed big-bodied and tautly muscled flavors that culminate in a linear and focused finish..

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.
