The Domaine Méo-Camuzet Boudots is flat out stunning in 2016 and this is one of the top premier crus in the cellar here this year. The bouquet is pure, complex and vibrant, soaring from the glass in a blend of sweet black cherries and plums, raw cocoa, a very complex base of soil, gamebird, violets and nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and sappy at the core, with great soil signature, fine-grained tannins and outstanding focus and grip on the very long, complex and energetic finish. Really classy Nuits.

(WA 91-93 points) The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots comes equipped with a vibrant and vivacious bouquet with blueberry and violets, orange blossom with just judicious touch of stemminess that imparts freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh acidity. There are discrete hints of marmalade; generous in the mouth with good volume on the seductive finish. I can envisage this being quite forward once in bottle and, therefore, will not require extended bottle age like other 2016s from the domaine. This is one of my favorite releases of this wine in recent years. - Neal Martin

The Nuits Boudots reveals an attractive bouquet of rose petal, strawberry, black cherry and spice, marked by a touch of whole cluster fruit which Méo finds adds a certain seriousness to a cuvée which can otherwise be rather fruit-driven at this address. On the palate the wine is fine-grained, supple and silky, ample on the attack and then firm on the finish. Like the Murgers, this will need some time.
