Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots

Wine information: The Nuits-Saint-Georges A.C. wines are produced on land delimited by the parishes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey. The soils are basically composed of limestone and marl. A perfect exposure to the East gives the capacity to produce splendid wines. The «Les Boudots» vineyards is bordering the Premier Cru vineyards of Vosne Romanée, at the northern edge of the Nuits Saint Georges appellation. Maison Louis Jadot produces a characteristically firm and full-bodied Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots. Rich and vigorous on the palate, with a deep, pungent bouquet, it shows considerable dimension and structure, acquiring a mellow depth and softness with bottle age. It will be a good partner for red wine sauces, marinated or roasted game, medium tasting cheeses.

"Here the wood is very generous and borders on being intrusive as it presently dominates the blue and black fruit that introduces rich, full and suave flavors possess a mouth coating texture and finer tannins than usual on the admirably long finish. As noted, this is generously oaked but appears to have the mid-palate density to eventually eat it though I suspect there will always be a textural impact. Benefit of the doubt awarded." 89-92 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound April 2008
