Tasting notes
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru shows the newest oak on the nose, though it seems simpatico with the fruit. It just adds a slightly glossy veneer, making the aromatics more polished. There is some suggestion of Brettanomyces. The palate is fleshy and rounded on the entry, with soft tannins and more approachable than its peers, though there is structure. However, I do find some alcohol and VA blurring the edges on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru has a very lovely bouquet with well-defined red fruit, crushed stone, touches of dried red petals. The palate is medium-bodied with a citrus-fresh opening, a Boudots surfeit with energy, quite conservative and linear on the finish though. Great potential.
