The 2020 Michel Noellat Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots is a red Burgundy wine from a highly regarded Premier Cru vineyard. The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots is known for delivering rich dark fruit, spice, and structure, embodying classic depth from a top Burgundy site. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy is generally considered to be very good, with wines showing good energy and suitable extraction. Michel Noellat's wines from this vintage are well-made, with relatively moderate extraction, and often reflect the intensity style of Vosne-Romanée. The use of 30% new oak (from François, Cavin, and Taransaud coopers) with old vines (70-80 years) contributes to good tension and liveliness in the wine. 【Classic depth from a top Burgundy site】 Tasting Notes: This wine typically presents a shiny, deep color. Aromas and flavors often include vanilla, oak, baking spices, cherry, red fruit, raspberry, earthy notes, leather, and minerals. Some mentions also include blackberry, blackcurrant, dried herbs, licorice, rose petal, and violet. It is described as powerful, rich, and well-mastered with a very beautiful length. The cold pre-soak process helps to lift the bouquet, making it interesting. Food Pairing: This Burgundy Côte de Nuits Red wine is an excellent match for beef, veal, poultry, and game (such as deer and venison). Its rich dark fruit and structure would also pair well with roasted lamb, mushroom-based dishes, or mature hard cheeses.
