Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots Louis Jadot 2015

Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots, Domaine Gagey (Louis Jadot), Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France, 2015

Grape: 100% Pinot Noir hand picked from 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."
