The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru, which has one of the highest degrees of alcohol, also has the most tension and mineralité on the nose among Grivot’s cuvées from this commune. Black cherries, raspberry, blood orange and crushed stone soar from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grip, very minerally and tensile, displaying superb delineation and transparency toward the finish. Very long aftertaste. You can really feel the terroir in this wine. Superb. 93-95 points

Fine bright purple with a lighter rim. There is a huge mouthful here yet still with a racy finish, despite the evident ripeness of the fruit. Dark plums, without chocolate, and no feeling of heat either. Rich long finish, just a touch over 14%. 92-95 points
