<p>Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots, Domaine Gagey (Louis Jadot), Côtede Nuits, Burgundy, France, 2015Grape: 100% Pinot Noir hand pickedfrom Premier Cru vineyards located next to Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts. Aged 18 months in oak (1/3 new barrels). 2015 was a great vintage in Burgundy.Critics’ Tasting Notes:”The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots displayed a slight metallic note on the nose, though underneath lay plenty of crisp blackberry and black plum fruit, focused if perhaps missing a little charm. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry and I wager showing more class than the aromatics. Nicely balanced with a dash of black pepper on the finish, hopefully the aromatics will improve and just gain a tad more personality by the time of bottling.” Barrel Sample (88-90/100 points), Neal Martin, Dec 2016″This premier cru vineyard lies at the northern end of Nuits-St.-Georges, close to Vosne Romanée. That explains the structure and richness of this firm wine. It is dense with tannins that give a dry core to the rich red fruits. With acidity still right up front and with the tannins, the wine needs aging. Drink from 2021.”93/100 points, WINE ENTHUSIAST, January 2018Serve withGrilled red tuna, tataki beef, terrines (rabbit, pork, etc), moussaka, calf’s liver, fondue bourguignonne, steak tartare, roast veal, veal chop, duck breast salad, baked guinea fowl, pasta, hard cheeses.Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots Louis Jadot 2015</p>
