2021 Nuits-St-Georges Bousselots 1. Cru

John Gilman

93/100

The 2021 Bousselots is a beautifully sappy example of the vintage this year. The gorgeous, black fruity nose jumps from the glass in a mix of dark berries, black cherries, coffee bean, venison, bonfire, dark soil tones, vanillin oak and a lovely topnote of currant leaf. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and focused, with lovely depth at the core, impressive transparency and grip, seamless balance and a long, fine-grained and very promising finish.

The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots offers up aromas of sweet red fruits, blackberries, spices, rose petals and bergamot, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and impressively concentrated palate that's a touch more muscular than the sensual Chaignots.

A fine glowing purple, the nose is strict yet with intensity, very promising. Plenty of punch, this is really quite concentrated, yet still with a liveliness. Will take some time but then will deliver a fine Nuits-St-Georges.

Here a more restrained nose is aromatically similar to the Chaignots if not quite as spicy. There is more power and punch to the intensely saline-suffused middleweight flavors that also conclude in a moderately austere bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. Bousselots always requires at least mid-term cellaring to show its best and the 2021 version will be no exception. Recommended.
