Winemaker Notes
This firm, full-bodied Premier Cru is vigorous on the palate, with deep aromas and considerable structure that will mellow with age. This will develop favorably in the bottle for 12 to 15 years.
Serve with meat in red wine sauce, marinated game and medium-intensity cheeses.

Supple and silky in texture, this red is elegant, bordering on racy. Delivers cherry, raspberry, violet and spice flavors that are beautifully balanced with the solid structure. Tightens up on the finish, a good sign of future potential, yet remains persistent and resonant, with the fruit, spice and mineral elements lingering. Best from 2025 through 2043.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Notes of rich berry fruit, blood orange, rose petals and spices introduce the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, velvety and ample wine that's layered and lively, with bright acids and a saline finish. This is promising.
Barrel Sample: 91-93 -
Decanter
A smoky, rich aroma that blends black plum and fig notes, with a hint of minerality and a bit of the almost 'animal' aroma of Nuits - that slightly exotic character that adds an extra dimension. Although the wine is tannic and firm on the palate, it is far from unapproachable and should age extremely well. This half-hectare parcel that Jadot farms in the Nuits premier cru Aux Boudots belongs to Domaine Gagey. It has done a marvellous job with the fruit in 2020.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
Inhabiting the bottom end of the northern half of the Côte d’Or, Nuits-St-Georges is a busy, market-driven town and home to many of Burgundy’s negociants. It is also the largest town in the Côte d’Or after Beaune and contributes "nuits" to the name of Côte de Nuits (i.e., the northern half of the Côte d’Or).
The appellation itself is divided into two parts, where in the north it directly borders Vosne-Romanée, the southerly end is the commune of Prémeaux. There are no Grands Crus in this village, though it does have a large number of Premiers Crus.
The best Nuits-St-Georges Pinot Noir are layered with cherry, plum, underbrush and sandalwood. The fruit is sweet, the wine energetic, and the finish long and lush.
