Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers

Les Pruliers expresses itself on very fruity notes mixing notes of prunes, red fruits where blackberry and cherry often dominate, with floral and smoky notes. It is a wine with a beautiful structure, powerful and sometimes a little austere, which gives it a good aptitude for ageing.

Deep soils with little clay, brown, sticky soil. The name comes from the Roman Empire, where cherry trees of the prunus variety were grown and were very popular until the Middle Ages.

Vinification : After several days of pre-fermentation maceration (5 to 6 days), fermentation continues for about 15 days, without yeast, the operations (punching of the cap and pumping over) being carried out as required, to preserve the wine's elegance, without excessive extraction. After pneumatic pressing and a few days in vats, the wines are racked by gravity, with an average of no more than 25% new barrels.
