The 2014 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Murgers' is a red Burgundy that, in its youth, presented a touch of struck match reduction on the nose, which was noted to be interesting to observe post-bottling. This vintage is characterized by a pleasing structure and more backbone compared to some other wines from the region. The wine was aged for 16 months in oak barrels, with 30% new oak, and underwent fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without clarification or filtration, highlighting a commitment to traditional winemaking. 【Its pleasing structure and backbone for the vintage make it stand out】. Initial tasting notes reveal wild aromas of strawberry and smoke, alongside a hint of meaty reduction. On the palate, it is described as sweet and creamy in the middle, with fleshy red berry fruit infused with brown spice and subtle earthy tones. Community reviews also mention red fruit notes like raspberry, cherry, and strawberry, complemented by earthy, leather, and mineral undertones, with hints of oak, clove, coffee, and various spices. Some suggest that after about an hour of aeration, the wine becomes very fragrant, revealing floral notes, particularly rose, and more pronounced dark cherry notes. Food pairing suggestions for this elegant Nuits-Saint-Georges include classic choices such as duck, goose, and other game birds. Its structure and flavor profile would also complement roasted poultry or dishes featuring mushrooms and earthy elements. This wine is well-suited for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating a milestone, or a thoughtful evening dedicated to appreciating a well-structured and evolving Burgundy. It's a wine that rewards patience and proper aeration.
