Domaine Jean Grivot Aux Boudots Nuits St Georges Premier Cru 2009

Scores

93 / 100

"*Outstanding* In 2009, the nose is more Vosne than Nuits with ample amounts of spice to the very ripe liqueur of cassis and red cherries that gives way to highly complex, intense and concentrated medium weight plus flavors that culminate in a rich, suave and superbly long finish. This is right at the limit of what I personally prefer in terms of ripeness but many will find this to be highly seductive."

"The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Aux Boudots, from a parcel next to Malconsorts in Vosne, exudes a deep, baritone expression of dark fruit. Sensual and beguiling, the Boudots shows plenty of gravitas in its dark fruit, spices, menthol and new leather. The fruit powers through towards an inevitable crescendo on the finish. This is a hugely impressive wine from Grivot."

93 / 100

"The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Aux Boudots presents a Vosne-like expression of dark cherries, graphite, menthol and sweet spices. This is another especially vibrant, focused 2009 that will benefit from another few years in bottle. Truth is, it is pretty terrific right now."

93 / 100

"This juicy red shows both grip and a seamless texture as the wild cherry, berry and spice flavors play out on the finish. The tannins erupt in the end, but are eventually matched by sweet fruit. Distinctive."
