about this wine:
Nuits St Georges wines make you long to bite into them. Although their name evokes twilight and nightfall, these premier crus have a fairly vigorous nature, hard while immature, more caressing later on.
Les Boudots wines, rigorous and lively, with a high alcohol content and great finesse, are notable for their soft, perfumed bouquet, reminiscent of blackcurrants and wild blackberries; their bouquet alone makes them easy to distinguish from wines from other vineyard areas. This wine dazzles you less by its body than by its subtlety. It is as if the Côte regretted having made an oversight, and had returned to Vosne for a moment.
They are a deep ruby in colour, and possess a vigorous personality, with fennel elements and aromas of red fruits. The fine acidity that characterizes these wines makes them perfectly balanced and suitable for laying down.

Here the wood is overtly generous though the highly complex mélange of spice, earth, sauvage, red and blue fruit aromas manage to hold their own while complementing the big, rich and full-bodied flavors that possess firm underlying tannins and plenty of buffering sap. While the nose speaks of its Vosne proximity, the body and finish are clearly Nuits in character. Worth a look as this has fine potential. ♥
