Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers

Very fruity notes of prune, red fruit.

Vinification	After a few days of pre-fermentation maceration (5–6 days), fermentation takes place over about 15 days, without adding yeast. The cap-punching and pumping over operations are carried out as necessary to preserve all of the wine’s elegance without excessive extraction. After pneumatic pressing and several days in vats, the wines are racked off by gravity, with the proportion of new barrels no greater than 25%.
Vineyard Soil	The plot of “Les Pruliers” has deep soils with a thin layer of clayey, sticky soil. Its name descends from Roman times; popular cherry trees of the variety prunus were grown here until the Middle Ages.
Tasting Notes	Les Pruliers reveals very fruity notes of prune, red fruit (with blackberries and cherries often dominant), complemented by floral, smoky notes. This is a wine whose superb structure, powerful and sometimes a bit austere, makes it a good candidate for cellaring.
Food Pairings	It is a perfect accompaniment for traditional wine-based dishes, such as beef bourguignon and coq au vin. It also goes well with fruity cheeses such as comté, but not with ripened or very fatty cheeses.
