Tasting notes
Bright red. Very reduced nose is dominated by leather, meat and smoky oak. Then surprisingly supple and creamy in the mouth; much more tender than the Chaignots but also sweeter and fresher. This very round 2014 finishes with lingering ripe red fruit flavors.

The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Bousselots comes from vines on more gravelly, silty soils. As such, it displays more volume and fruité on the nose compared to the 2014 Les Chaignots. This comes out and greets you with open arms with lovely, sumptuous blackberry and crushed strawberry aromas. The palate is very precise with fine tannin, black rather than red fruit with blood orange surfacing towards the precise finish, which does not have enormous persistence -- but it has so much freshness and elegance. This is just superb.
