Domaine Sylvain Cathiard - Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru 'Aux Murgers' - 2015

Neal Martin Release Price: NA Drink Date: 2020 - 2040 The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers has a more expressive bouquet than the Aux Thorey, essentially demonstrating more Pinoté and terroir expression. The palate is showing a little more oakiness at the moment, although there is sufficient fruit to soak that up in time. There is good depth here, a suppleness to the texture with candied orange peel and a touch of cassis towards the caressing finish. Whilst the Aux Thorey is more immediately pleasurable, the Aux Murgers conveys the propitious manner of this vineyard, and has greater long-term potential. 90-93 Points Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
