2011 Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Pruliers

Allen Meadows' Burghound: Here the aromas are not quite as ripe as those of the Cherbaudes yet there is good freshness to the bright if distinctly earthy aromas of spice-infused red, blue and dark pinot fruit. There is good energy to the tension-filled middle weight flavors that are blessed with plenty of palate coating dry extract before culminating in a firm finish where the acidity is prominent without being aggressive. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2013

Vinous: Power and resonance take center stage in the 2011 Nuits Saint Georges Les Pruliers. Crushed rocks, menthol, pencil shavings and dark cherries all ring out in a focused, energetic, tightly wound Burgundy. The 2011 needs time to settle down, but it is striking and utterly vivid in the glass, even at this early stage. There is quite a bit to look forward to here. - Antonio Galloni, März 2014
