Jean Tardy & Fils Vieilles Vignes Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Boudots' 2007

Jean Tardy & Fils Vieilles Vignes Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Boudots' 2007
From the prestigious 1er Cru Les Boudots – located on the border of Vosne-Romanée – comes this elegant wine that combines the power of Nuits-Saint-Georges with the refined finesse of Vosne. The old vines ( Vieilles Vignes ) ensure additional depth and complexity, while the 2007 vintage, which was characterized by a relatively cool growing year, gives the wine a fresh and upright structure.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby ​​red color with beginning brick nuances at the edge. The nose is delicate and complex with ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by floral notes of violets and rose petals. With age, tertiary aromas of forest floor, mushrooms, leather and fine spices such as cinnamon and pepper have developed. A discreet touch of cask rounding off with hints of cedar and roasted coffee.

On the palate, the wine is elegant and balanced with a silky structure. The fruit appears ripe, but still with a fresh nerve that gives life to the whole. The tannins are finely integrated, and the acidity adds energy, while the aftertaste is long, mineral and characterized by spicy, earthy nuances.

A classic, mature Burgundy, perfect with poultry, veal, mushroom dishes or mature, mild cheeses. It can be enjoyed now in its full ripeness, but still has potential for further aging.
