Tasting notes
Good bright medium red. Sexy, soil-inflected aromas of cherry, redcurrant, strawberry, tobacco, cinnamon and licorice. Intensely floral and precise, with ripe acidity framing the flavors of red berries, game, earth and resiny herbs. Conveys a saline impression of extract. Finishes with a broad dusting of tannins and excellent length and lift. This very pretty wine retained its supple mid-palate texture for 72 hours in the recorked bottle.

Moderately saturated medium red. Liqueur-like red berries, red cherry and mocha on the nose, complicated by stone and leather. Seamless and rather silky for Nuits-Saint-George, with expressive, tasty flavors of red fruits, leather and earth. Finishes with smooth tannins and noteworthy persistence. Charles van Canneyt likes this wine today for its early fruit but notes that it "goes animal" quickly.
The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Murgers boasts an incredibly expressive bouquet and gorgeous layers of dark red berry and plum flavors. The wine is quite open and inviting at present, but I imagine it will firm up in bottle. Exotic spiced notes wrap around the creamy, textured finish. This is a promising 1er Cru from Hudelot-Noellat. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. Once again this year I tasted with Charles Van Canneyt, Alain Hudelot’s grandson. Yields were down 30% across the board, a significant drop but not terrible considering the year. Overall the 2010s are very strong and seem to point towards a style that is a bit more refined than in the past. Importer: Atherton Imports, Menlo Park, CA; tel. (650) 328-6639
