Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Site Information: Les Meurgers (or Aux Murgers) is an exceptionally fine Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Adjacent to the village of Vosne-Romanée, its soils impart a silky and richly spicy character to the Pinot Noir.
The 1988 vintage for Burgundy was excellent. The early growing season is warm, and the climate conditions are ideal.
Aging potential: This vintage of wine has a grand structure and excellent acidity. After decades of aging, the tannins have become rounded and silky.
