2010 的 Nuits St. Georges Les Pruliers 又是一款帶濃郁果香及結(jié)構(gòu)純正的葡萄酒。它不像這一葡萄園中的其他酒一樣直接易飲，但它的潛力非凡。散發(fā)著濃郁的深紅水果、碎石頭及礦物質(zhì)的氣味，余味剛健而有活力。2010 年的這款酒需要些耐心。此款酒有些粗獷，但特點鮮明，隨著時間的推移，會逐漸變得細膩。預期熟成時間：2020-2030 年。

The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Pruliers bursts from the glass with an explosive, heady array of fruit. The wine reveals gorgeous persistence and fine overall harmony in a relatively accessible style for this house in 2009. A clean, pointed finish balances the fruit nicely. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. Jerome Chezeaux farms a total of 11.2 hectares of vineyards, of which 6.6 are estate owned. The fruit is 100% destemmed. Chezeaux favors fairly lengthy macerations. New oak levels are on the low side. As is the case at many estates, the 2009s have a slight upper hand in many of the entry and mid-level wines, while at the high end the 2008s are superb. Either way, these are some of the most beautiful, classically built wines I tasted on my trip. Patience is required, though, as these are sturdy wines that need bottle age.Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990

The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Pruliers is a graceful, feminine wine laced with the essence of rose petals, crushed flowers, mint and red fruit. This is an especially elegant, refined Nuits that impresses for its superb harmony and balance. Today the Pruliers remains naturally rather cool and inward, but there is considerable sweetness in the fruit that will emerge over time. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.

The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Pruliers (of which there are fewer than 40 cases) smells of sour cherry candy, cough syrup, and incense, mingled with a slightly alkaline note. In the mouth, this introduces beef stock and surprisingly stony mineral underlying character without evincing a lot of primary sweetness of fruit. Salty, meaty, stony notes compose the theme of a finish that certainly doesn’t lack concentration. Again, some residual tannic roughness my be temporarily accentuated. Jerome Chezeaux had just bottled (albeit without filtration) when I visited, so allowances should be made for the possibility that the wines were suffering from this.Also recommended: 2005 Bourgogne (84), 2005 Vosne-Romanee (85+?), 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges (86+?), 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains (?).Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel.
