Cathiard’s 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Murgers offers beautifully-focused aromas and flavors of cassis, black raspberry, and meat stock. Quite creamy in texture, with chalky, smoky, brown spice, and floral inner-mouth character, this acts like a Nuits that could be Vosne. The combination of clarity with creaminess in the finish is uncanny.

(61-year-old vines) Good medium red. Deeply pitched aromas of cherry and smoked meat. Sweet, broad and a bit peppery, without quite the precision of the Orveaux. In a more muscular style, and a bit drier. Firmly structured, but not overly tannic. Cathiard told me he prefers this to the Orveaux.

Scented, sweet and very flattering. Quite chewy and lots going on there. Quite sturdy for a 2004. (JR)
