With its deep ruby color, our Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru "Aux Murgers" is a balanced and sunny wine. The nose is full of cherry and other red fruits, highlighted by delicate floral notes, such as violet. The palate is round and pleasant, with soft, velvety tannins. The finish is long-lasting yet subtle.
