Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers

2023

Burghound 91-94♥: A more deeply pitched and decidedly earthier nose features aromas of plum, forest floor and plenty of sauvage character. There is excellent vibrancy to the bigger-bodied and more powerful flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts moderately with the robust, mildly rustic and sneaky long finish. This is excellent with the development potential to match.

Vinous 91-93: The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru is more backward on the nose compared to Grivot's other wines from the appellation. Its bouquet features dark berry fruit, earthy tones and a touch of ceps. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly lactic texture. It's quite smooth, with just a faint touch of fig, but there's good body and gentle grip toward the toasty finish. This is a fine Nuits Saint-Georges, but in this instance, I prefer the previous vintage.
