This 2001 Nuits Saint Georges Aux Boudots 1er Cru is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F) after decanting for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. It is currently in its prime drinking window, which extends from now until 2030+. Given its age, we highly recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely extract the cork.
