Domaine Sylvain Cathiard 'Aux Murgers' 1er Cru Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017 CENTRAL COAST soft caramelThe 2017 Nuits Saint Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru, matured in 60% new oak, has an expressive bouquet of dark berry fruit infused with bay leaf and black tea, the terroir a little more articulated than the Aux Thorey at the moment. The palate is smooth and sensual on the entry, an equal mixture of red and black fruit, with a gentle grip on the lightly peppered finish. Excellent.
