This is brilliant in 2022: aromatic, silky, and refined. Its ample body and smooth tannins are off-set by its red-fruit freshness. The clay soils of this part of Nuits are really coming into their own with these dry summers.
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has a very tempting bouquet, beautifully defined and one of the purest from Grivot this vintage. There's a subtle flinty quality to the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm structure, edgy, thanks to the slightly chalky tannins. It’s a marine-influenced Nuits Saint-Georges with a lingering, quite minerally finish. Excellent.
Bright mid red, with a more profound but less complex aromatic profile after Roncière. There is a sweetness to the raspberry fruit on the palate, perfectly judged ripeness, with a firmer structure behind. More juicy red fruit at the finish. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted: November 2023.
