2021 Jean-Claude Boisset Les Pruliers, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France

Halfway between Dijon and Beaune, and with an easterly exposure, the vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges extend over 6 kilometres, with 140 hectares of Premier Cru vines. The range of soils, exposure and locations here creates a great diversity of terroirs. The area is bisected by the valley of the small Meuzin river, and the village itself.

The premier cru "Les Pruliers" is located above our plot "Belle Croix" in the middle of the hill south of the village. The soil is brown, silty in nature with calcareous gravel. In the region, the tree was called a "pruyer". In the past, there were many rowan trees in the plot.

With its beautiful dark red color, this wine reveals intense aromas of red and black fruits with hints of licorice. On the palate, this wine is fleshy, with a slight sweetness and a good length in the mouth.
