Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers 2011 has an endearing, beautifully defined bouquet with sensual, natural brambly red fruit, briary, mineral and a judicious touch of sous-bois. It is very focused and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins and well-judged acidity, harmonious in the mouth with quite a lush finish that is modern in style but not over-extracted. This should drink well for the next 10-15 years.

A supple, inviting wine, the 2011 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Murgers presents an attractive array of crushed flowers, dried herbs, mint, spices and red stone fruits. The mid-weight structure suggests the Aux Murgers is a wine to drink sooner rather than later.
Dense but a bit foot dragging. Solid, almost there but just a bit stolid. (JR)
(this and the following 2011s are domain cuvees): Good medium red. Subtly complex aromas of cherry and spices. The silkiest and creamiest of these 2011s to this point, with sappy red fruit flavors offering enticing perfume and verve. Stylish and nicely balanced from the outset. Very sophisticated Nuits-Saint-George with supple tannins and a lovely lingering aromatic quality.
