Domaine Méo-Camuzet Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru 2018
Burgundy wine Aux Murgers
The wood is not especially subtle here either though it does not prevent the intensely earthy red and blue pinot fruit aromas from expressing themselves clearly. The middle weight plus flavors are more restrained however and while textured and supple, there is the firmness and moderate austerity that one expects in young Murgers.
Robert Parker : 92-94 points

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers is showing especially well, unwinding in the glass with notes of sweet wild berries, plums, sweet soil tones and smoked meats. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, textural and concentrated, with lively acids, ripe tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Like many of Méo’s 2018s, I suspect it will offer a broad drinking window.

Domaine Simon Bize
Savigny-Les-Beaune
This is the first wine to display more than a soupçon of wood though it’s not enough to dominate the notably ripe yet fresh mix of liqueur-like red and dark cherry, floral and warm earth scents
Domaine Le Moine Lucien
Pommard 1er Cru
Here the pretty nose is fresher still with its layered mix of red and dark raspberry scents that are cut with plenty of earth influence. The rich and caressing but attractively punchy middle weight flavors possess evident power on the dusty

Domaine Bart
Chambertin
An ultra-spicy and markedly floral nose combines notes of red cherry, wild currant and earth with those of soft game and underbrush nuances. The polished, sophisticated and intense middle weight
