The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Pruliers displays aromas of plums, strawberries, rose petals and earthy soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate with good concentration and an open-knit, charming profile, concluding with some firm back-end tannin. This is an unusually accessible Pruliers that will offer atypically precocious drinking.

The 2016 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Pruliers has the most introverted bouquet (this despite jabbering with Etienne Grivot about his family history to allow the wine time to open in the glass!). Nevertheless, the palate is very well balanced with filigree tannin. There is a lovely saline note here, very precise and energetic with a slight chalkiness to the texture on the finish. I suspect that it will flesh out more once in bottle.

The 2015 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Pruliers is slightly more effervescent and candied on the nose compared to Etienne Grivot's other wines from this appellation, hints of orange sorbet and marmalade developing alongside the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp acidity, a firm backbone here, a Pruliers built for long-term ageing and delivering superb concentration. I can imagine this demanding 4-5 years in bottle.

The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Pruliers was much more backward on the nose compared to the 2014 les Roncières when I tasted it at the domaine; this is broody and a bit sulky at the moment. The palate is more expressive with fine, saturated tannin. The new oak is a little more prominent here and will need time to be absorbed, but there is plenty of fruité and density on the finish; plus there is tangible mineralité and indeed, spiciness on the finish that has more concentration than Etienne Grivot's other Nuits-Saint-Georges. Superb.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers has a refined bouquet with undergrowth-infused red berry fruit, a little rustic but charming and expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red cherry and strawberry fruit, fine tannin and prudent use of oak. There is focus and precision here, decent length and class. This is a top-notch and utterly delightful Nuits Saint-Georges in the making, surpassing my estimation in barrel. Tasted September 2016.
