🏰The 2009 Champy Hospices de Nuits Nuits St Georges Les Boudots Cuvee Mesny de Boisseaux 1er Cru is a fleshy and silky 1er Cru Pinot Noir from the historic Hospices de Nuits estate, offering a rich expression of the acclaimed 2009 Burgundy red vintage. The 2009 Burgundy red vintage is widely proclaimed as outstanding, characterized by ripe, full-bodied fruit flavors, good concentration, and short-to-medium term appeal. Les Boudots, a 1er Cru bordering Vosne-Romanée, is known for producing fleshy wines with fruitiness and roundness. This 100% Pinot Noir, vinified in wooden vats and aged for 18 months in new and used barrels, displays a deep ruby hue. Expect a rich nose of ripe black fruits like black cherry, with hints of cocoa, leather, pepper, violet, and a slight touch of earth. The palate delivers a fleshy texture, silky tannins, and an elegant finish marked by fine minerality and spicy notes, layered with dark cherries and licorice. 🍴 This expressive Pinot Noir is an excellent match for coq au vin, matured cheeses, veal, game (deer, venison), or grilled lamb chops. Its elegance also makes it suitable for more refined poultry dishes. 🥂 Ideal for a special dinner or a gathering of Burgundy enthusiasts, this wine is approachable now, though some suggest it was anticipated to mature between 2012-2019. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
