2021, Domaine Henri Gouges, NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES, 1er Cru, 'Les Pruliers'Being bottled today. A slightly darker colour here. Theres a good weight of a darker red berry fruit with a slight mentholated touch. The structure is more like a classical central Nuits St Georges, with both firmer tannins and a sound thread of acidity. The fruit continues very nicely behind. *** 91 94 Jasper Morris MW. The 2021 Nuits Saint Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru comes across a little muted on the nose compared to its peers, maybe just a little

The 2022 Clos Puy Arnaud is a real stunner

Readers will have to be patient

This succulent wine has great drive thanks to the vintage

clay and limestone

Compacted and dense yet weightless

plum and blackberry flavours lined with singed alder

the Merlot taking over the steering wheel

Extremely concentrated blueberry and blackberry fruit

supple and fleshy

as do fennel and almond notes

Elevage is in Burgundian barrels (60%) and 40% in a vat

with a nose which shows the whole bunch a lot by giving some crushed strawberry on top of the darker fruit of Nuits-St-Georges
