2008 Meo-Camuzet Nuits-St.-Georges “Les Boudots” 1er Cru 91 Points, RP “In tank waiting bottling when I last tasted it, the Meo-Camuzet 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Boudots smells and tastes of confitured blackberry, cocoa powder, and soy, with caramel and resin notes well-integrated, and humus, peat, forest floor, as well as salty notes taking on increasing importance as you work the wine up in your mouth, the upshot being a complex, savory, saliva-inducing, palate staining finish unobstructed by the wine’s density of tannin. This should be worth watching and enjoying for a decade, and makes a lovely example of terroir in action as well, since it’s impossible not to make the connection between “Boudots” on the map and the sense in which this Pinot tastes more like one from Vosne than from Nuits-St.-Georges, whereas no such resemblance characteristically applies to the Meo Nuits-St.-Georges from Les Murgers or Perrieres.”
