Nuits-St-Georges, Les Boudots, 1er Cru, 2023
Rich, ripe, dark fruit and sweet spice. This is bold and sweetly structured with notes of black plum and dark black cherry; a sultry, sleek, succulent Nuits that plays to its strengths and is true to style. The vines were planted in the 1950s and 1960s, Méo-Camuzet have 1ha of vineyards in Boudots, which can be found on the Vosne side of the Nuits appellation, next door to Malconsorts. The argilo-calcaire soils here yield very silky and expressive wines of considerable breadth and force.
critic reviews
The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru has a perfumed nose with iris flowers and a touch of peony infusing its mainly black fruit—although here I am seeking a little more presence, as with the 2022. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and the 60% new oak becomes just a little vocal toward the finish. Hopefully, the terroir expression will develop more once that has been assimilated. At present, the Aux Murgers is showing Les Boudots how it's done.
