The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Boudots emerges from the glass with layers of silky dark red fruit, flowers, spices and crushed rocks. This is a sensual, generous style of Nuits that is very pleasing, even today. I imagine it will drink well with minimum cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
Jean-Nicolas Meo was away on the day of my visit, so I tasted with assistant winemaker Peer Reiss. The harvest started on September 22 and took about ten days to complete. Overall, I am a big fan of the 2010s here. Although I did not get a chance to taste the 2009s from bottle, my notes suggest 2010 will turn out to be the more interesting vintage. The Meo-Camuzet negociant wines are reviewed separately.
