2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Hauts Pruliers

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Hauts Pruliers 1er Cru offers more red fruit on the nose: strawberry and raspberry, just a touch of violet and a soupçon of espresso, all with precise delineation. The palate is medium-bodied and very cohesive with fine tannins, a crisp line of acidity and silky-smooth tannins. There is just a light lactic element on the finish but that will go with time. The 2022 was one of Rion's standouts and this is a worthy follow-up. Recommended.
