Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Aux Murgers' Meo Camuzet 2020

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Aux Murgers' is one of the excellences from the renowned Méo-Camuzet domaine, situated in the heart of the prestigious Vosne-Romanée in the Côte d'Or. Winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo, heir to a long family tradition, manages fourteen hectares of land in some of the most spectacular appellations and crus in Burgundy. His philosophy revolves around the balance and purity of the wine, and the production area, characterized by extraordinary terroirs, contributes to this goal, providing the label with an ideal concentration and intensity for aging in the cellar.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Aux Murgers' by Meo Camuzet stands out for its consistent quality in production, both in exceptional years like 1990 and more challenging periods like 1992. Henri Jayer, a consultant for vinification and maturation, has contributed to the creation of wines that combine structure and finesse, concentration and charm. Practices include a strict yield limitation with the implementation of green harvests, even in the oldest vines. During harvest, a new selection occurs, followed by 100% destemming. Maturation takes place in new oak barrels to ensure optimal aging. Bottling occurs after an average of 17 months in barrels, following a gravitational process, without filtration, and, unless exceptionally necessary, without clarification. This approach aims to preserve the integrity of the wines without incurring trauma or alterations.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 'Aux Murgers' by Meo Camuzet, a descendant of a selection of Les Perrières and Les Terres Blanches, distinguishes itself with its unique organoleptic characteristics. The deep color and aromatic complexity of red berries, cherries, rose petals, and spices pave the way for a medium to full-bodied taste, concentrated, with mature tannins and a penetrating finish. This wine, with a pronounced and powerful personality, offers freshness thanks to marked acidity and roundness. The sensory experience is completed by a harmonious persistence. Perfect for immediate enjoyment, the 'Aux Murgers' will fully reveal its potential in the next 10-15 years. We recommend pairing it with meat-based dishes and well-aged cheeses. A wine that has many cards on the table to captivate the most passionate enthusiasts.
