"For me, it is always interesting to follow the progression in the Méo cellars from the sturdy elegance of the Prémeaux premier cru of Argillières, to the classic, central Nuits structure of the Perrières to the more plummy and elegant side of the village as one approaches the Vosne border with the two domaine holdings in Boudots and Murgers. The 2011 Boudots is a superb wine in the making, offering up a deep, classy and quite black fruity this year nose of black cherries, a touch of cassis, espresso, a complex base of soil, woodsmoke, herb tones and new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and potentially very refined, with a fine core of fruit, shave tannins and lovely backend minerality on the long and youthful finish. This will be fine juice."
