Wine Advocate (92-94)
The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Bousselots comes from vines on more gravelly, silty soils. As such, it displays more volume and fruité on the nose compared to the 2014 Les Chaignots. This comes out and greets you with open arms with lovely, sumptuous blackberry and crushed strawberry aromas. The palate is very precise with fine tannin, black rather than red fruit with blood orange surfacing towards the precise finish, which does not have enormous persistence -- but it has so much freshness and elegance. This is just superb.In Bond£626.80 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)
Full fresh purple. A little oak here, matched by plenty of concentrated fruit. There is good tension on the palate, dark raspberry and plums, enough fruit weight. Drink from 2030-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.In Bond£445.00 -
(12x75cl) 2005Vinous (91+)
Saturated, deep ruby-red. Liqueur-like black raspberry, blackberry and licorice aromas retain good freshness. Very large-scaled and dense, with superripe berry, licorice and chocolate flavors offering superb depth and sweetness. Perhaps a bit monolithic and powerful for a wine from this cellar, but obviously youthfully clenched today. The big tannins saturate the teeth. I'd put this away for a decade.In Bond£1,839.00
