Jean Grivot, Nuits Saint Georges Pruliers other_regions intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors

intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint

mildly warm and youthfully austere finale where a touch of bitter pit fruit character shows up

concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

The 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is co-fermented with 4% Viognier in a Côte-Rôtie style that delivers a red and black-fruited nose with a floral grip and rustic rockiness

even tannins that come on late

Jean Grivot, Nuits Saint Georges Pruliers other_regions intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavorsThere is lovely complexity to the subtly spiced and distinctly earthy red currant and plum suffused nose. There is plenty of verve and mid palate concentration to the intense and seductively textured flavors that offer both good size and weight, all wrapped in a firm, balanced and persistent finish. This displays enough Nuits character to remain true to the terroir yet there is virtually no rusticity. (90 92) 2019+
