Domaine Jean Jacques Confuron Nuits Saint George 1Er Aux Boudots 2020

Situated in the village Premeaux-Prissey, Alain Meunier and his wife Sophie Meunier-Confuron assumed control of this wonderful Domaine from Sophie’s father, Jean-Jacques Confuron in 1988. Belonging to the new generation of Burgundian’s their philosophy is ‘biologique’ and their vineyards are ploughed by horse. A chorus line of superb vineyards commencing with their seriously good village Côte de Nuits ‘Les Vignottes’, the ever pretty ‘Les Fleurières’ within Nuits-St-Georges, two first class Nuits-St-Georges Premier Cru’s in ‘Les Chaboeufs’ and ‘Aux Boudots’, a very classy Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru, the prestigious Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru ‘Les Beaux-Monts’. Then the Grand Cru Clos Vougeot where the Domaine boasts 45-year-old vines in the very best part of the Clos at the top and the crowning glory in the treasure chest is undoubtedly the truly majestic Romanée-St-Vivant.

A more elegant and notably spicier nose combines notes of red and dark berries along with an interesting hint of orange peel character. There is more refinement, if not the same concentration and power, to the medium weight flavors that possess a seductive texture and particularly so on the balanced, lingering and already nicely complex finale. Drink through 2032+. 92 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

Assembled in tank. One third whole bunch vinification was used. Dark purple centre with a slightly lighter rim. A solid rich heady nose, partly the vintage and partly the proximity to Vosne. Intense, linear, then a little bit headier behind, and some new wood showing. The tannins are fine and plenty of juice remains. Between optimum and maximum ripeness. 92-95 points Jasper Morris MW - Inside Burgundy
