2011, Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret, NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES, 1er Cru, 'Aux Boudots'Gorgeously spicy nose of both red and black cherry and raspberry. There is excellent concentration to the extract rich broad shouldered flavours that possess a touch of Nuits muscle along with plenty of Vosne refinement, all wrapped in a strikingly complex, powerful and hugely long finish. This is terrific. Drinking 2021+ 91 93 Burghound.

Hats off to the team of Christian Moueix and director Tod Mostero

but it has a higher level of precision

Uniting classicism and charm

An excellent Rugiens

500 candles in the vineyards (as with Petrus and VCC) were effective against the frost here

Crisp too on the nose though with a suggestion of a little flesh behind

it's broad and textural

crayon and liquorice root

milk and dark chocolate

displaying elegance on the palate

balance and hidden power

The wine is elegant
