The 2017 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Aux Boudots Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru hails from a generally very good vintage for Burgundy, with vines showing recovery after the challenging 2016 growing season. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey is widely regarded as one of Burgundy's top producers, with his reputation consistently growing with each vintage. This particular Premier Cru Pinot Noir is noteworthy as Colin-Morey is primarily celebrated for his white Burgundies, making this red offering a less familiar but equally compelling part of his cellar. The Aux Boudots vineyard itself is situated at the northern edge of Nuits-Saint-Georges, bordering Vosne-Romanée, and is known for producing wines with a more perfumed and finely structured character. On the nose, expect a floral bouquet, airy with notes of red cherry and a hint of orange oil. The palate is elegantly structured with a saline-infused texture, showcasing perfectly ripe, crunchy red fruit, excellent balance, and a solid grip. The finish is long and juicy, with good dry extract and a recurrence of flavours, sometimes described as chalky. Other tasters have noted spice, sandalwood, blackberries, plums, and earthy undertones, supported by firm tannins and a silky texture. 🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic dishes such as duck, goose, and various game birds. Consider roasted duck breast with cherry reduction or a rich mushroom risotto. 🥂 Event Suggestion: This wine is perfectly suited for elegant dinner parties, special celebrations, or any occasion where a finely structured and aromatic red Burgundy would be appreciated. 【A unique red Burgundy from a producer renowned for white wines, offering a finely structured expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges.】
