Note di degustazione
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru is showing a lot of reduction on the nose, but that clears away nicely to reveal copious black cherries, boysenberry and crushed violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, fine grip and delivering a solid mass of red fruit on the slightly confit finish. There is plenty of substance in situ, but it needs to counterbalance that with finesse and terroir expression. Give it 4-6 years in bottle to tame the brutish side. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

The 2016 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers stands in contrast to the suave and elegant 2017 rendition. Offering up aromas of raspberries, cassis, dark chocolate, rich soil tones and cedary new oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with bright acids and an imposing chassis of rich, chewy tannin. Firm and tight-knit, this will require all the patience that readers will be accustomed to afford Gouges' Pruliers.
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has an impressive bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, orange rind, crushed stone and wilted rose petals in an antique glass vase. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, lovely red cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit with great depth, more than perhaps the 2009 or 2010 towards the finish that fans out gloriously. There is a great Les Pruliers here in the making but it deserves time. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte.
