Domaine Michel NoëllatNuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots 2022

About this wine

If you're looking for a Burgundy that shows real character without pretension, this Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots is exactly what you need. It's the kind of wine that reminds you why Pinot noir from the right place can be so captivating.

On the nose, you'll find red berries, a touch of earth, and that subtle mineral quality that makes Nuits-Saint-Georges special. The palate is elegant and balanced, with fine tannins that give structure without overwhelming. There's a nice freshness here too, thanks to the 13% alcohol, which keeps everything feeling lively and refined.

This is a wine that pairs beautifully with classic Burgundian dishes like coq au vin or beef bourguignon. It also works wonderfully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or even a good quality charcuterie board. Serve it slightly cool, around 16 to 17 degrees Celsius, to let all those nuances come through. The 2022 vintage is approachable now, but this wine will develop nicely over the next five to seven years if you want to cellar it.
