Reviewed December 2015The 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. (NM)

The domaine’s 2014 Bousselots is quite black fruity in personality this year, as it wafts from the glass in a blend of sweet dark berries, plums, a fine base of soil, dark chocolate, incipient notes of gamebird and a stylish base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with a sappy core of black fruit, fine soil signature and lovely backend bounce and grip on the fine-grained and focused finish. Fine juice.

Noticeable if not generous wood frames the super fresh nose of mostly red berry fruit aromas that are trimmed in discreet notes of earth and tea. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the relatively fine detailed flavors where again the tannins are on the finer side. This is both delicious and well-balanced and should reward 6 to 9 years of cellar time.

Bright red. Very reduced nose is dominated by leather, meat and smoky oak. Then surprisingly supple and creamy in the mouth; much more tender than the Chaignots but also sweeter and fresher. This very round 2014 finishes with lingering ripe red fruit flavors. (ST)
