"It is interesting that a number of the more central and southerly premier crus in Nuits did not shine quite as bright as expected in this vintage, but this pair on the Vosne side of the village in Monsieur Méo’s cellars are absolutely stunning. The Murgers has taken the inherent elegance of 2005 and really run with it, as the wine soars from the glass in a blend of black raspberries, red cherries, vinesmoke, a touch of the game to come, absolutely stellar minerality, a nice base of vanillin oak, and once again pungent violets in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full and urgent, with a rock solid core of fruit, striking purity, brisk acids, fine-grained tannins, and amazing grip on the long, pure finish. Another stellar Nuits."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
