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.

Ample, but not dominant, wood fights with the spicy black and red liqueur of pinot fruit nose that precedes rich and relatively powerful medium weight plus flavors that possess good mid-palate fat and are shaped and supported by the mocha-infused finish and prominent but ripe tannins. This is long if not especially refined and should reward mid-term cellaring.
