Nuits St Georges, Les Pruliers, 1er Cru, 2016
Very much a vin de garde. Muscular, complex dark and red fruit overlaying a deep cool, earthy, mineral foundation. Brooding, brawny but multi-layered and brisk. A parcel of 50-year-old vines close to Clos des Porrets that, like its neighbour, also produces classic mineral Nuits but with a touch more roundness to it. The soils are similar although in Pruliers the stone elements are a little more broken down.
critic reviews
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru is showing a lot of reduction on the nose, but that clears away nicely to reveal copious black cherries, boysenberry and crushed violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, fine grip and delivering a solid mass of red fruit on the slightly confit finish. There is plenty of substance in situ, but it needs to counterbalance that with finesse and terroir expression. Give it 4-6 years in bottle to tame the brutish side. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
