Nuits St Georges, Les Pruliers, 1er Cru, 2020
One of the brighter, redder fruited wines of the cellar in 2020, the Pruliers is muscled and ripe but full of spark, too. A concentrated mix of minerals red berries, bramble and damson with a rich note of creme de mure. Excellent length and finish; there is terroir teeming from its every pore. One of Nuits' unsung heroes, Les Pruliers is well situated with a gentle slope and a good mix of clay and stones, consistently producing very complete, structured, mineral wine in the typical Nuits mould.
critic reviews
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has a powerful bouquet of graphite-infused black fruit and freshly rolled tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied and quite fresh with fine balance and salinity, though I think this is beginning to close up.
The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers is showing especially well, soaring from the glass with notes of raspberries, cherries, sweet spices, raw cocoa and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, bright and vibrant, with lively acids and a deep core of concentrated fruit, it's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and concludes with a long, penetrating finish.
