THE "CLIMAT" - Appellation 'Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru' Control. "Murger" refers to a pile of stones that is more or less covered with undergrowth and is found close to the vines on the edge of a parcel. There are many murgers around this Climat, giving rise to its name.
TERROIR - Deep soil mixed with stones.
TASTING - Appearance: Ruby red Bouquet: Elegant and delicate with raspberry and spice aromas. In the mouth: Deep, combining cherry flesh, ripe raspberry and fine woodiness, velvety tannin presence, lots of charm and body for a pleasing balance.

"Deep, impenetrable colour. Beautifully smooth on the palate with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity to keep everything in balance. Dark cherry and blueberry fruit on the palate with subdued, subtle oak. There is a fresh touch of spice and black pepper on the palate which leads to a very long finish. An extremely elegant Nuits Saint Georges with lots of potential."
