The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots ler Cru is gentler on the nose compared to the Pruliers, scents of wild strawberry, raspberry, crushed limestone and light ferrous aromas unfolding from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a sweet entry. This has a lot of sucrosity and energy. Powerful and vivacious toward the saline finish, which reveals touches of boysenberry and black cherries and lingers for 45 seconds. Superb.

This has a purity and elegance to its black currant, blueberry, tar and spice aromas and flavors, with hints of roasted game and woodsy underbrush adding detail. Balanced and long, echoing fruit, iron and spice notes on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2040. 53 cases imported.
