Vinous Neal Martin - 30 Oct 24
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has just a touch of reduction on the nose, but clean black fruit is behind it. The palate is powerful and very ripe, with black fruit laced with black pepper. It is almost northern Rhône-like in style, with a punchy, tannic finish that thankfully loses some of the residual heat as it opens in the glass. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
