Nuits St Georges, Les Bousselots, 1er Cru, 2012
justerini & brooks tasting note
Velvety in texture like the Chaignots but deeper, darker and more powerful. Notes of dark berries, black cherry, herb, spice, sap and touches of dark chocolate. Smooth and profound. Bousselots is from the Vosne side of the Nuits commune and tends to produce silkily textured Nuits.

90-92/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Good bright, dark red. Deep aromas of black raspberry, minerals, smoke and flowers, along with notes of licorice and dark chocolate; ripe and sexy. A step up in density and finesse of texture from the Chaignots, offering good acid spine to its wild dark fruit flavors. Quite dry and uncompromising today, finishing bright and long, with serious tannins and a juicy character. A very good showing.
