The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru, aged in 50% new oak, has an intense bouquet of floral and violet aromas joined by dark berry fruit and a touch of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied and quite mineral-driven, with gentle grip and a savory, earthy, quite broody finish.
Aux Boudots is one of the northernmost Premier Cru climats in the Nuit-Saint-Georges appellation in Burgundy. The vineyard, planted to Pinot Noir, is on the border of the Vosne-Romanee commune, and Aux Boudots Premier Cru wines are often considered to be more aligned with those of Vosne-Romanee than Nuits-Saint-Georges. The 6.5 hectare (16ac) vineyard lies on the midslope of the Cote d'Or, just below the much steeper slopes of the Les Damodes Premier Cru climat. Aux Malconsorts, one of Vosne-Romanee's best Premier Cru sites lies along Aux Boudots' northern border, while the smaller Aux Cras climat is to the south.
