Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid crimson. Ripe and dark fruited. First impression is almost overripe. On the palate, there’s some oak sweetness and a hint of coffee. Packed with fruit and flavour. Sui generis but lots of pleasure. Ripe but fresh. Sweet and chewy. (JH)

The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru, which has one of the highest degrees of alcohol, also has the most tension and mineralité on the nose among Grivot’s cuvées from this commune. Black cherries, raspberry, blood orange and crushed stone soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grip, very minerally and tensile, displaying superb delineation and transparency toward the finish. Very long aftertaste. You can really feel the terroir in this wine. Superb.
