The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru is a blend of young vines planted in 2018 and old vines that Mathilde Grivot speculated could be up to a century old. The last vintage exclusively from the old vines was 2015). It has a complex bouquet, with a mixture of red and black fruit, potpourri, crushed minerals and light sea spray scents that evoke images of the sea. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit. It's the spiciest of Grivot's NSGs, with commendable weight and impressive mineralité toward the focused, intense finish. This has a bright future ahead.

Aromatically this could pass for a Vosne and a good one at that with its wonderfully spicy dark berry fruit and exotic tea-scented nose. The rich, opulent and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors aren't quite as powerful as those of the Pruliers but they're finer while offering outstanding depth and length on the more refined finale. This is not particularly dense but the balance is pretty much perfect. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding*

A fullish strawberry red to crimson. A complex nose, slightly higher pH in style, not one of the densest and most robust Boudots. However, there is a very considerable volume of fruit which builds on the palate, and starts to bring darker fruit notes at the back, along with good acidity. A saline touch too. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.

This high-toned red features black currant, blackberry, licorice, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors. There are elements of sandalwood and toasty oak as this winds down on the finish. This is deceptive in its subtlety, yet stretches out in the end. Best from 2029 through 2047. 75 cases imported.
