Tasting notes
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.

Black! Rich nose and very confident. Set for the long term. Evokes memories of OW Loeb tastings upstairs in Merchant Taylors Hall! Masses of tannin but masses of fruit too. Convincing! (JR)
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru did not suffer too much hail according to Antoine Gouges, at most 5%. This is very ripe and slightly gourmand on the nose, light savory notes emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, nicely controlled and then just tightening up towards the finish that shows just a bit of VA. Quite dense of a Pruliers, give this some time in the cellar.
