Domaine Méo-Camuzet - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru - Aux Murgers - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

With its muscular, nervous flesh and crisp tannins, the 2017 red Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers is convincingly ripe and smoky, with hints of blackcurrant and black fruit. Suave and elegant, it has a lot of finesse and a very seductive sapiness, primed by careful oak and an intense finish.

Vinification:

Hand harvested. Vines planted between 1965 and 1972. Low-intervention vinification. Long maturation in mostly new barrels.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Veal quasi en cocotte, roast Landes chicken, pan-fried veal sweetbreads, matured farmhouse Saint Nectaire cheese.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2033, and even longer for enthusiasts.
