Tasting notes
Sweet oak spice, lively dark fruit. Chalky fine tannins. Overall on the delicate side but great persistence. Fresh and tastes just a touch stemmy (20-30%, apparently) but not unripe. (JH)

Healthy full red. Perfumed aromas of black cherry, raspberry and rose petal lifted by spices. Sweet, sappy and light on its feet, with red berry and floral flavors displaying lovely sucrosité and inner-mouth aromatic lift. Finishes with sweet tannins and subtle notes of leather and earth. A very elegant Vosne-side Nuits-Saint-Georges, and a distinct step up in quality from the preceding wines.
The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers has a cohesive bouquet with red currant, raspberry and just a touch of tinned peach, quite Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the oak needing a little more time to fully integrate. But it is endowed with a pleasant, endearing spiciness, almost fieriness that lends the finish intrigue. This has finesse and focus, constituting and supremely well-crafted 2013.
