"Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to evaluate. The sleek and beautifully detailed if not particularly concentrated middle weight flavors offer even better depth and persistence. This is certainly very pretty if not at its usual level."

Antonio Galloni

"The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru has a focused, precise bouquet that feels neatly integrated with the new oak (around 60%). The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, expressive and certainly pretty, delivering plenty of tension on the quite persistent finish. Delightful." -Vinous

Robert Parker

"Aromas of cassis, dark berries, grilled game and smoky new oak introduce the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, a medium-bodied wine that's satiny, layered and fine-boned, displaying unusually suave structure at this early stage and concluding with a sneakily intense finish despite its elegantly middle-weight profile. This is shaping up to be a precocious Méo Murgers that will drink well with just a few years' bottle age. Longtime fans of Domaine Méo-Camuzet will be delighted by the 2017 vintage at this address, as the domaine has produced an attractive collection of charming, supple wines that are beautifully defined by site but which will also be unusually approachable out of the gates. While many of the wines had been racked not long before my tasting, they were still expressive, and I suspect they will prove even more satiny and gourmand in bottle. Méo began picking on September 6, finishing just over a week later. Like many others, he reports that the wines fleshed out considerably during élevage and is thinking of bottling them a little earlier than usual."
