...has a relatively candied bouquet compared to winemaker Charles van Canneyt's other crus, hints of baking powder and thyme infusing the perfumed red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, well-judged acidity, quite "solid" in the mouth with a dense, generous finish...very delicious. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

CNY day 2 at Manjie’s. Smoky herbal, slightly peppery notes on the nose. Mealy tannins. High acidity. The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Murgers is very promising, opening in the glass with notes of smoked duck, sweet cherry and peony. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and elegant, with a deep core of ripe fruit, juicy acids and an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins that is beginning to assert itself on the finish. Forget this for the better part of a decade, then reap the rewards. RP92+, drink 2024-2045
