Alain Hudelot-Noellat Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru 'Murgers' 2022

This 1er Cru Murgers is muscular and elegant.

Domaine Hudelot-Noellat is an iconic producer in the Côte de Nuits. The style of the Domaine is defined by elegance and purity. The vineyard “Les Murgers” is located in the Vosne-Romanée side of Nuits-Saint-Georges, often considered to be more feminine in style than the muscular Pinot Noir from the other side of the village.

A pleasing ruby colour. The bouquet shows the perfect match of Vosne hedonistic fruit with the extra weight of Nuits-St-Georges. Fruit floods the palate, dark raspberry, a light acidity, tannins submerged beneath the fruit, a light touch of oak, and remarkably persistent. Very fine indeed. Enjoy it because two thirds of the plot on 161/49 rootstock was taken out after the 2022 harvest. Drink from 2032-2040. 94-97 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. 100% Pinot Noir.
