The 2023 Mongeard-Mugneret Nuits-St-Georges Aux Boudots is a finely structured Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the most highly regarded Premier Cru sites bordering Vosne-Romanée. The nose is expressive and layered, showing aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry and plum alongside hints of spice, dried herbs and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, silky tannins and a focused mineral backbone that reflects the vineyard’s limestone-rich soils. The fruit profile is concentrated yet restrained, with savoury notes and gentle oak integration adding depth and length to the finish. The 2023 vintage brings both freshness and structure, making it approachable with decanting while still suited to further cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts looking for a serious Nuits-St-Georges with balance and ageing potential. Best enjoyed from 2028 onwards, though approachable earlier with air. Pairs particularly well with roast duck, mushroom dishes, grilled quail or herb-roasted lamb.
