Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Murgers 2020 AOC 0,75l

Domaine Sylvain Cathiard presents Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Murgers 2020 AOC 0.75l, a bottle that embodies the expressive restraint typical of the Côte de Nuits and the vocation to authentically convey its terroir. In this vintage, Aux Murgers emerges with a distinctive signature: a texture of ripe red fruit, a light spicy note, and a mineral savoriness that seems to rise from the cru’s deep soils. The aromatic profile stands out for its elegance: cherry and blackberry intertwine with hints of graphite, fine leather, and a floral nuance reminiscent of sweet almond. On the palate, the structure is broad yet refined: silky tannins, controlled freshness, and a finish that lingers beyond the first sip, without forcefulness. Domaine Sylvain Cathiard’s approach prioritizes careful vineyard management focused on the soil, timely harvesting, and winemaking that respects the raw material, with aging that encourages the integration of oak and defines the terroir’s distinctive expression. The house’s history is built on a reputation guided by consistency and style: a family estate that has made biodiversity, precision in the cellar, and the desire to convey the character of its vineyards its defining identity, distinguishing itself without resorting to easy spectacle among the region’s producers. In the producer’s portfolio, Aux Murgers holds a distinctive position: a wine that accompanies the emblematic crus with an agile and refined personality, ready to evolve over time without losing its original character. The wine lends itself to numerous gastronomic settings, from white-meat cuisine to game preparations, as well as moments of contemplative tasting, where its sensory articulation has room to express itself with discretion and depth. STELT favors wines capable of conveying a sense of place with discipline and elegance, and Aux Murgers 2020 from Domaine Sylvain Cathiard is a consistent testament to this, capable of accompanying moments of gustatory silence over time.
