Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 16
(60% new oak; from 70-year-old vines): Healthy medium red. Deep, slightly reduced aromas of dark fruits and smoky minerality lifted by a violet topnote. Rich, creamy and deep, with the concentrated raspberry and smoky mineral flavors carrying through to a very fresh finish firmed by sound acidity and a saline element. Tactile, precise and very long on the aftertaste.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 31 Dec 15
The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Boudots comes from 1.2 hectares of almost 100-year-old vines and is being matured in 60% new oak. It has a deep, broody, well defined bouquet with macerated dark cherries and cassis aromas, the mineralité just below the surface. The palate is dense and structured for the vintage, plenty of black cherry and cassis fruit once again with a patina of new oak filling out the finish. It will need several years to really show what it can do -- be patient.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
