2022 Armand Heitz Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Aux Boudots" comes from one of the most sought-after Premier Cru sites in Nuits-Saint-Georges, located right on the border with Vosne-Romanée—giving it a unique balance of power and elegance . The nose is precise and expressive, showing red cherry, raspberry and violet, layered with spice, subtle earthiness and a mineral edge. Compared to more muscular Nuits-Saint-Georges wines, Boudots is typically more refined and perfumed, with a slightly more polished aromatic profile.
On the palate, it is silky yet structured, offering bright red fruit, fine tannins and vibrant acidity. The 2022 vintage shows a touch more ripeness and generosity, but still retains the hallmark tension of the site. The texture starts smooth and gradually builds into a velvety, structured mid-palate, finishing long with light spice and mineral persistence. This is a wine that combines Côte de Nuits depth with finesse, rather than sheer power.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a “refined Nuits-Saint-Georges” — less rustic than typical examples, and closer in style to Vosne-Romanée elegance with Nuits structure. It’s perfect for customers who want serious Burgundy with both finesse and backbone, especially those who find Pommard too firm or Chambolle too light. A great bottle for both drinking with decanting or cellaring for 10–15+ years, pairing beautifully with duck, game or mushroom dishes.
