"The Boudots bottling is always one of the best-kept secrets in the Louis Jadot cellars and the 2016 is another outstanding wine in the making. The bouquet is very red fruity out of the blocks this year offering up a constellation of red plums cherries gamebird a complex base of soil tones bonfire and cedar. On the palate the wine is pure full-bodied and shows off excellent mid-palate depth with ripe seamless tannins bright acids and great backend soil drive on the long tangy and beautifully balanced finish. A classic Boudots in the making. 2030-2065+."
Vinous: 91-93 Points
(the crop here was normal in 2016): Bright dark red. Pungent herbal high notes (cannabis?) to the aromas of black cherry and licorice. Penetrating concentrated high-pitched wine with a very fine-grained texture and moderate sweetness and fleshiness. Sharply focused but not hard. This youthful classically styled wine finishes with firm building ripe tannins and excellent energy and lift. There's nothing astringent or rustic about this Vosne-side Nuits-Saint-Georges.

The wood treatment stops short of being intrusive though it's not subtle on the overtly spicy mix which combines notes of red and dark cherry raspberry earth and a whiff of violet. The seductively textured medium-bodied flavors possess a velvety yet muscular mouth feel that carries over to the solidly powerful and impressively persistent finish. Good stuff in a built-to-age package. (Drink starting 2028)
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2016 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots (Domaine Gagey) is showing well from bottle exhibiting scents of smoky blackberries red plums citrus rind and spicy new wood. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied ample and youthfully chewy with tangy acids fine but firm structuring tannins and a grippy finish. The raw materials are impressive but this is one of the Jadot 2016s that will require some patience.
