Nuits St Georges Les Murgers, Méo Camuzet 2019

Rich purple, heady but delicious, this is both exceptionally intense and very lively. Huge weight behind, but the fruit is more red than black with good acidity. Plenty of punch, good tannins, concentrated, and with some finesse. “Always ripe and always acid” Jean-Nicolas tells me.

The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers is showing particularly well—just like its 2018 predecessor at the same stage of its élevage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, wild berries, rich soil tones, spices and grilled meats, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with lively acids, beautifully refined tannins and a charming, gourmand profile.
