Critical Acclaim

93 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com : The 2018 Louis Jadot Domaine Gagey Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Boudots Premier Cru shows complexities that bode well for its cellaring potential. TASTING NOTES: This wine springs into action with bright red fruit, savory spices, and sandalwood in its aromas and flavors. Pair it with a juicy, grilled ribeye accented with finely minced shallots.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Open and expressive after the introverted Vaucrians, the 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots (Domaine Gagey) soars from the glass with scents of smoky berry fruit, peonies, blood orange, spices, dark chocolate and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a gourmand, charming profile.

93 Burghound.com : A similar but even spicier nose gives way to velvety, caressing and denser medium-bodied flavors that possess both good size and weight, all wrapped in an impressively long and much better-balanced finale. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my predicted range, but the underlying material appears to be present for that to eventually occur.

FOOD: Serve with meat in red wine sauce, marinated game and medium-intensity cheeses.
