Grivot Nuits-St-Georges 1er cru Les Boudots 2017

93-95 points Fine Wine Review: “Last of the Nuits, the Boudots has spicy, juicy red fruits with intensity and length in the medium-weight mouth. A very fine wine, as usual. (4/9/19)”

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): “The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru has one of the most vivacious bouquets of the range, featuring shimmering red cherries, wild strawberry, bergamot and hints of Earl Grey coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, filigreed tannin, silky-smooth texture and a slightly savory, persistent finish. A supremely well crafted wine from Grivot. Drink: 2022-2045. (Jan 2019)”

91-94 points and ‘Sweet spot/Outstanding,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “(from 70+ year old vines). Mild reduction pushes the fruit to the background but I doubt that it will last. Otherwise there is excellent volume, weight and intensity to the muscular and powerful big-bodied but seductively textured flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere and gorgeously long if quite firmly structured finale. This is a very dense wine in the context of the vintage and one that is going to require at least some forbearance. Drink: 2032+. (Jan 2019)”

93 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): “You can’t get any closer to Vosne-Romanée on the north side of Nuits-St-Georges than Aux Boudots. This old vine parcel has lots of small berries (millerands) and always produces an intensely fruity, textured wine. This is true to type, with gluggable raspberry and strawberry fruit, some rose petal top-notes and supporting acidity. Drinking Window: 2022-2029. (Nov 2018)”
