2002 Daniel Boquenet Nuits-St.-Georges "Aux Saint Julien"

[wondersofwine]

This Burgundy was listed at 13% alcohol and was non-filtered. Dark prunish color. Purple fruits on the nose and palate. Very refreshing. Doesn't taste shut down although I was taking a chance that it might be in a dormant phase. Pretty good with my meal of sweet and sour pork and white rice but would probably match better to duck with plum sauce or prunes. Worth the purchase.

One of these days when I have some extra cash I'm going to try some good Burgundy. While I guess you probably have been sitting on this a while, any estimate on what one may have paid for such a beverage a few years ago? WP

Bocquenet is one of the more fairly priced Burgundies. I purchases the '05 version of this one for $44 a bottle so I would have assumed that the '02 would have been sub $40 a bottle. WoW? am I close (in fact, I thought that I had purhcased the '05 Vosne Romanee but when I went to pick up, I found out that I instead had the NSG. Which one is more expensive, do you know WoW?)

I agree, nicely made wines, meticulous grower and in an agreeable price range.

I think I did pay about $35-$40 on release. Not sure if the village Vosne Romanee is less expensive than this one which is either a premier cru or lieu dit (I didn't see 1er Cru on the bottle.) On another wine forum there seems to be general agreement that Boquenet is a skilled producer and that the NSG wines age well for 10-15 years.
