2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Murgers Méo-Camuzet, Burgund (0,75l)

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Murgers, Méo-Camuzet

A deft application of wood sets off the markedly ripe yet still nicely fresh nose of poached plum, black cherry liqueur and warm earth. As one would reasonably expect, there is better volume and density to the more powerful medium-bodied flavors that are at once rich and caressing before terminating in a palate soaking, very firm and sneaky long finish. Lovely and a wine that should be approachable after only 5-ish years yet easily reward a decade plus of cellaring. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2024

Vinous - 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Murgers, Méo-Camuzet

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru comes from a vineyard most affected by the frost the previous vintage, so this year, there were 12 barrels instead of four. Matured in 60% new oak, the pretty bouquet has brambly red fruit, forest floor and light crushed stone aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a little more weight than the preceding Vosne Chaumes. There’s gentle grip with a dash of black pepper on the finish. Drink over the next 15 to 20 years. - Neil Martin, Nov. 2023
