Great finesse, poised, plump but fresh fruit, then a shot of that complex acidity that seems to define all of Romain Taupenot`s wines. Also delightfully balanced, and quite savoury. Pruliers is a small, stony Nuits-St-Georges vineyard where Romain`s three plots all give berries of different sizes and qualities, making a more complex whole. `I feel the tannins,` says Romain, `but they melt quite happily into the wine`.

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru needs a little coaxing from the glass but responds with dark cherry fruit, Seville orange marmalade and allspice aromas. It is certainly very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip on the entry, quite foursquare but focused, and the red berry fruit is tinged with orange peel and black pepper. The finish is very persistent and quite voluminous. This is a classy Les Pruliers that should age with style. 92-94 points
