Jean Grivot Nuit-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru 2015 (750ML)

92-94 WA / 93 VM / 92-94 BH /93-94 WH

The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots has an opulent, effervescent bouquet with copious red cherries, wild strawberry, marmalade and hints of allspice that all make for a very complex and quite riveting experience. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet candied entry, like the aromatics, forward and opulent in style with a rich, dense, spicy finish that feels as much Vosne-Romanée as Nuits Saint-Georges. It will need several years in bottle, but it should be a hell of a lot of fun once ready. Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate

Full, bright red. Aromas of dark cherry, licorice and leather are lifted by a floral note. Compellingly silky, supple and rich, but with its captivating sweetness nicely leavened by slightly medicinal menthol and mineral notes. The whiplash of a finish features seamless, noble tannins and outstanding breadth, the flavors building slowly and inexorably. An essence of Nuits-Saint-George with Vosne-side perfume. Stephen Tanzer – Vinous Media

Tasting note: A pungent nose is presently composed by notes of wood and enough reduction to suppress the underlying fruit. Otherwise there is superb richness to the voluptuous medium weight plus flavors that possess a highly seductive texture thanks to the abundant dry extract that imparts a sappy mouth feel and serves to mostly buffer the very firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish. Boudots is a chameleon-like terroir that can be either Nuits or Vosne in basic character; in 2015, it's more Vosne than Nuits. Allen Meadows - Burghound

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 2015 and now back on the Vosne side of Nuits-Saint-Georges. This is offering more energy – sweet juicy fruit in the bouquet – slightly reduced but offering a nice depth and intensity. On the palate rich and generous, well structured with a hint of it’s NSG origin. A powerful wine with very fine depth and length. This appeals more to me with it’s detailed fruit and fine intensity. Very Fine (93 – 94p). Steen Ohman - Winehog
