RATINGS

91Vinous / IWC

...palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, plenty of black fruit with cracked black pepper and a touch of balsamic towards the finish.

17+ Jancis Robinson

This also shows beautiful purity to the fruit and a vibrancy aromatically. A slight soapy note on the attack and then structured and layered tannins support the wine. There is plenty of weight here, and it’s an opulent style but still maintains a refined character. Very moreish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Les Pruliers

Les Pruliers is a 17.7-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saints-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is in the central part of of the appellation. Because there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saints-Georges, the appellation’s considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus. At an elevation of 250-270 meters, the vineyard has an ideal elevation, and the soil contains large amounts of stone, gravel and limestone.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
