Méo-Camuzet : Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru "Aux Boudots" Domaine 2022

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru "Aux Boudots" Domaine 2022 from Méo-Camuzet

Tasting notes

Colour
The wine displays a fairly deep ruby-red colour.

Nose
Remarkably precise, the nose releases pure aromas of red and black fruits such as redcurrant, raspberry, blackberry and black cherry. This fruity bouquet is enriched by delicate floral notes reminiscent of iris and peony, complemented by earthy touches, crushed stone and soft smoke. The oak is particularly well integrated.

Palate
Medium-bodied, the palate seduces with its silky texture and great transparency. It reveals a fine structure with soft tannins, offering a substance that is both dense and savoury. The whole stretches into an impressively long finish, marked by subtle minerality and a gentle warmth.

Food and wine pairing
This wine pairs ideally with fine, flavourful meats. It will go perfectly with roast duck in a truffle sauce, roast shoulder of lamb with basil, or even cuts of furred game such as fillets of young wild boar.

Serving and cellaring
To appreciate all the complexity of this Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru "Aux Boudots" Domaine 2022, we recommend serving it at a temperature of 16°C. Aeration is advised by opening the bottle two hours before tasting, pouring a first glass and then returning it to the bottle. Built for ageing, this wine deserves to rest in the cellar for a few years and can be enjoyed from 2026 until around 2040.

The elegance and purity of a great wine from Nuits-Saint-Georges

The estate
Officially founded under its current name in 1981, Domaine Méo-Camuzet is located in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, in Burgundy. While the family's winemaking history dates back to the 17th century, today the estate is run by Jean-Nicolas Méo. Heir to the terroirs assembled by Étienne Camuzet and influenced by the famed Henri Jayer, he upholds a philosophy centred on respect for nature and the purity of the fruit. The estate stands out for its highly precise, almost organic viticulture, giving rise to wines that combine charm, concentration and finesse.

The vineyard
The "Aux Boudots" Climat is a Premier Cru located in the northernmost part of the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges, directly bordering Vosne-Romanée. Facing east, the plot of just over one hectare lies on the lower part of the slope, considered the most noble. The soil is fragmented, of medium depth and rich in limestone elements, promoting excellent drainage. This singular terroir gives rise to a wine from the border, combining the structure typical of its appellation with the roundness and charm of Vosne-Romanée.

Vinification and maturation
To produce this Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru "Aux Boudots" Domaine 2022, the grapes are hand-harvested and then rigorously sorted on a sorting table. Fully destemmed, they undergo cold pre-fermentation maceration at around 15°C for three to five days. Fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures not exceeding 35°C, favouring gentle extraction. Maturation lasts approximately 17 months in oak barrels with a light toast to preserve the fruity expression. Finally, bottling is carried out by gravity, with no fining or filtration.

Grape variety
