Tasting notes
Light crimson. So pretty it has something orangey about it as well as the fragrant red fruit. A miracle of delicacy combined with persistence. (JH)

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet of generous red berry fruit, Earl Grey, pressed white flowers and just a slight orange blossom aroma. The palate is sweet on the entry, offering vibrant red cherry and strawberry fruit. Mineralité floods through the wine on the persistent finish. Yet another scintillating contribution from this vineyard.
The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Pruliers displays aromas of plums, strawberries, rose petals and earthy soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate with good concentration and an open-knit, charming profile, concluding with some firm back-end tannin. This is an unusually accessible Pruliers that will offer atypically precocious drinking.
