Like the other village wines here, there's this rich sweep of silky volume combined with complete aromatic precision and fresh brightness. Fabulous wine. Drinking range: 2027 - 2037L&S (Nov 2021)

Red peppercorn and white pepper aromas. A delicate, intense, and refined NSG, with silky tannins. The finish is perfumed and carries a hint of culinary herbs. Drinking range: 2026 - 2030 Rating: 91 World of Fine Wine Magazine (Apr 2022)

(this cuvée is composed from 20% Les Murgers, 20% Aux Cras and 60% Richemone). An attractively spicy and beautifully layered nose of red currant and cool raspberry also present plenty of floral elements. The delicious medium weight flavors possess an equally refined mouthfeel thanks in part to the fine-grained tannins on the beautifully detailed and intense finish. This youthfully austere and strikingly long effort should amply repay 12 to 15 years of keeping yet should be approachable after only 6 to 8 years.

Cask sample. There’s some depth to this raspberry-scented (as in perfume) cuvée. Finishes boldly with quite a tannic punch. Long-lived, no doubt. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 Rating: 16.5++ Matthew Hayes, www.jancisrobinson.com (Jan 2022)

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Murgers des Cras is slightly earthier on the nose compared to the Domaine’s other cuvées, brambly red fruit mixed with light heather and orange rind scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very harmonious, not enormous depth of grip here but neat and precise on the finish. I just want it to "let go" by the time this is in bottle.

Christophe Perrot-Minot is now the fourth generation of his family producing wine on the estate after his great grandfather Amédée Merme devoted himself to the management and production of wine over 130 years ago. The estate has gone from strength to strength – always keeping the highest standards. Integrated viticulture has been practiced for many years now which has been adapted especially for the terroir. No herbicide or chemical fertilizer is used, instead, Christophe prefers to “stand back and listen to this terroir, only intervening when necessary or when the weather requires it, never systematically.” This is one of the star domaines of the whole of Burgundy.

STORAGE OPTIONS:

Wines bought en primeur are scheduled to arrive in the UK over the course of the next eighteen months.

BURGUNDY EN PRIMEUR FAQ

OFFER: All wines are offered subject to availability and final confirmation.

DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months.

Transfer of wines to any third-party bond (i.e. not Elephant Storage) will incur an administration charge of £16.50 + VAT for all orders under £1,000. Please indicate if you would like the wine duty paid and a duty & VAT invoice will be raised once all the wines on your order are available for shipment. Once the relevant duty & VAT has been settled, we will ship the wines to your nominated address as per our normal duty paid Delivery Terms.

PAYMENT: All orders will be invoiced for immediate payment by cheque, cash, debit card or cleared funds to our account. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards for primeur orders. We reserve the right to apply a dunning charge of 2% per month on invoices unpaid after 30 days.
