Tasting notes
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru has a ripe and showy bouquet with plush black cherries and cassis fruit, though it does not fully possess the delineation of its peers. Yet I still find the aromatics attractive and not overbearing. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins that give it a fleshy mouthfeel, slightly lower in acidity and a little more savory compared to its peers, brown spices and cooked meats towards the finish. It's not bad, though it does lack a bit of typicité. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Powerful, intense premier cru Nuits. Has the tannic structure expected, together with dark-fruit character and good oak integration. Pretty complete and will develop very well over the next 5–10 years. (AWH)
Aromas of cherries and ripe berries mingling with hints of spiced plums, burning embers and forest floor introduce the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots, a medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety wine that's layered and concentrated, with beautifully refined tannins and a long, sapid finish.
