Tasting notes
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru is the one cuvée that is more confit on the nose, missing the delineation of other cuvées from Grivot, mulberry and cassis scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, candied entry, quite fleshy and ripe, fine acidity with vibrant red fruit towards the finish, a little heady but still pleasurable.

Harvested a day or so later than planned – higher alcohol than the other 2020s. Cask sample. Deep ruby; blood orange and quite citrusy on the nose; higher tannic charge and bite. Great power. Set apart from the pack. (MH)
Slightly riper aromas of black cherry, raspberry and earth are fresh if brooding. There is both excellent delineation and vibrancy suffusing the delicious medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a chalky, palate drenching and youthfully austere finish. Lovely and very Pruliers in character. (91-94)/2035+
