Goedhuis, December 2023
Aux Boudots is the most northerly Premier Cru in Nuits St Georges, neighbouring Vosne Romanée’s Aux Malconsorts, making it a prized source of high-class fruit. The initial impression is of classy red fruit purity, reminiscent of Vosne Romanée. In contrast, the palate is more typical of Nuits’ power and muscle, with chewy black fruit and a multitude of dark flavours, with spice and coffee bean on the finish.

Neal Martin, January 2024, Score: 91-93
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru has pleasing transparency on the nose, more tertiary in character, with good mineralité. The palate is well-balanced, the 50% whole bunches very well integrated, fanning out beautifully on the finish with a dash of white pepper and bay leaf. Excellent. Drinking Window: 2026-2046.

Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
