Tasting notes
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru has a fragrant floral bouquet with red cherries, raspberry and rose petal scents. The oak is neatly entwined with just a touch of reduction that will not take much to be removed. Nice use of whole cluster here. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit. A little rustic and ferrous in style, though balanced with decent substance. It just feels a bit clipped on the finish, prompting me to dock a couple of points. That said, it is not a bad wine and there is at least a sense of cohesion and drive. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with perfumed black cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, fresh and focused, the oak nearly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red and black fruit laced with mandarin and orange peel. Nicely structured with a slightly candied finish. Fine.
