The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers unfurls in the glass with aromas of plums, peonies, spices and smoked duck. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with an almost unctuous core of fruit, melting tannins and lovely purity of fruit, it's a real success.
A more deeply pitched nose freely offers up its aromas of plum, earth and a whiff of the sauvage. The delicious and vibrant, if not especially dense, medium weight flavors possess good punch and focused power on the mildly austere, compact and built-to-age finale. This should age gracefully over a 12 to 15 year window and hold for another decade thereafter.
