with Pierre’s daughter Anne now working in the business (& Jean’s son Julian studying vine science at Dijon)

palate-cleansing finish

all held taut by a fine weave of tannic structure

and it could be tremendously stunning with patience

A touch of water brings out an astonishing elegance and complexity

2015 Nuits-St Georges, Aux Boudots, 1er Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy UOM with Pierre’s daughter Anne nowWhile there is some reduction present it's more subtle as there are notes of earth and spice discernible. The gorgeously intense and vibrant medium weight plus flavors possess a succulent but muscular mouth feel while delivering superb length on the markedly firm finale. This is a big Boudots that is very clearly built to age and is going to need at least 15 years to arrive at its majority and 20 would not surprise me. 91 94 100, Alan Meadows,
