Aux Boudots 1er Cru
At the very north of Nuits, on the border with Vosne (and the Vosne vineyard Malconsorts), steep, stony Aux Boudots is not easy to farm; Etienne Grivot reports he has broken a plough here more than once on the rock stratum that crosses the vineyard. But it has also given him a stunning, scintillating 2023. It opens with Vosne-like floral notes, but these are succeeded by fleshy cherries. The mid-palate is taut, the finish is explosive, and it leaves behind some surprisingly salty, mineral notes. A powerfully impressive wine that demands some elevage. (NT 05/12/24)

A fullish strawberry red to crimson. A complex nose, slightly higher pH in style, not one of the densest and most robust Boudots. However, there is a very considerable volume of fruit which builds on the palate, and starts to bring darker fruit notes at the back, along with good acidity. A saline touch too. 91-94 points

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru is a blend of young vines planted in 2018 and old vines that Mathilde Grivot speculated could be up to a century old. The last vintage exclusively from the old vines was 2015. It has a complex bouquet, with a mixture of red and black fruit, potpourri, crushed minerals and light sea spray scents that evoke images of the sea. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit. It`s the spiciest of Grivot`s NSGs, with commendable weight and impressive minerality toward the focused, intense finish. This has a bright future ahead. 93-95 points
