Pruliers is widely considered one of the finest premier cru sites in all of Nuits-Saint-Georges — a south-facing slope with deep, iron-rich soils that produces wines of uncommon power and complexity. Boillot's parcel is planted to vines over 70 years old, and it shows: the 2022 is a wine of serious depth, with a heady, effusively spicy nose of game, earth, floral notes, sandalwood, and wild dark berries, followed by a velvety, muscular palate coated in dry extract that builds to a long, impeccably balanced finish. Meadows calls it "wonderfully complex" and "highly recommended, provided that you have the intention of cellaring it properly" — this is not a wine for near-term drinking. A benchmark expression of Pruliers from one of the Côte de Nuits' most trusted small producers.
