Tasting notes
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Boudots 1er Cru has a refined, precise bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry, woodland and cigar box aromas that gently waft from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity, quite caressing in terms of texture, with gentle but insistent grip toward the finish. This is a fine, quite assured Les Boudots that should give 12 to 18 years of drinking pleasure.

A very fresh array of red flowers and cherries with a gently brambly, sous-bois edge to the nose. The palate has fresh red-cherry flavor in a tart, smooth texture. Good length and balance here. A great location in Nuits, adjacent to Malconsorts in neighboring Vosne. Drink or hold.
The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots (Domaine Gagey) wafts from the glass with aromas of dark fruit, licorice, baking chocolate and exotic spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and gourmand, with rich but fine-grained structuring tannins and succulent acids. It's a charming example of Jadot's Boudots that will make friends out of the gates but age with grace.
Cask sample. Merest hint of mossiness on the nose. Masses of red-cherry fruit on the palate but it finishes with a skein of relatively drying tannins. Needs time. (JR)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
