Domaine Meo-Camuzet, Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 2002

The 2002 Aux Boudots from Meo-Camuzet is somehow slightly disappointing. In the bouquet dark berry fruit, raspberries, liquorice and oak with the alcohol slightly forward in the nose. On the palate layers of quite dense and rather dark fruit – still quite restrained by the oak in this otherwise fruity vintage. It’s quite harmonius but still quite backward – and while the attractive sweet primary fruit has disappeard the oak and tannins are still very much present – was in my view better a few years back. Still – it’s not a bad wine now – but certainly not my style of Burgundy with it’s slightly austere and extracted expression.
