Tasting notes
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has quite a heavy reduction on the nose that suppresses the fruit at the moment, but it feels well defined and time should lift that veil. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, gentle grip and a little sapidity towards the marine-influenced finish. Give this two or three years in bottle as there is a quite delicious and satisfying NSG. here. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru was not really touched by the frost according to winemaker Laurent Lignier. Red berry fruit is intermixed with Earl Grey and undergrowth. The palate is well balanced with sappy red fruit, tobacco and another refreshingly saline finish. Maybe is doesn't have the finesse of the Domaine's top cuvées in 2021, but it is a solid showing.
Tank sample. Pale ruby. Very lightly coloured, showing finesse of the southern part of Nuits. Nothing shy about the fruit though, ripe and sweet. Light structure; approachable soon. (MH)
