Mightily impressive. Boudots is situated on the Vosne side of the commune and the Grivot bottling displays many of its hallmarks this year. Wonderfully persistent flavours of kirsch, strawberry and plush forest fruits are cloaked in velvety tannins that bring definition to this hugely seductive and yet vibrant Nuits St Georges. Intense and very long on the finish, this may well be the best Boudots we can remember tasting. Boudots, well situated next to Vosne Romanee Malconsorts, produces some of the bigger, richer and broader style of Nuits whilst keeping a silky texture.
Etienne Grivot succeeded his father, Jean, in 1987, and today presides over 15 hectares of vines spread accross Nuits, Vosne, Vougeot and Echézeaux. This is one of the modern-day, benchmark Burgundian domaines. The estate’s densely-planted old vines (the average age is 40 years old) produce naturally-low yields and, together with Etienne’s organic approach to viticulture and sensitive winemaking, result in vivid, pure, very well-balanced Burgundies. The wines are much more softly extracted than when Etienne first started, the winemaking is incredibly flexible, depending on the vintage, but usually only 5% of stalks are retained, and rarely more than a third of the barrels are new. Daughter Mathilde and son Hubert have committed to working at the Domaine and have taken on more responsibility from Etienne since 2017, so the estate's future seems secure. A reference point Burgundy Domaine.
