The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots is one of the more brooding, powerful wines in the cellar this year, opening in the glass with notes of cassis, dark berries, smoked duck, spices and coniferous forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, with powdery structuring tannins, lively acids and a long, carnal finish.
