Philippe et Vincent Lecheneaut, Nuits-St-Georges Rouge Pruliers 1. Cru, 2022

Philippe et Vincent Lécheneaut’s Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers is a deeply expressive Pinot Noir from one of the most respected names in the Côte de Nuits. Built on precision, structure, and a strong sense of terroir, it captures the classic power of Nuits-Saint-Georges while retaining the finesse and detail that make great Burgundy so compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color with a dark, youthful core. The nose opens with ripe red and black fruit, wild plum, violet, liquorice, and subtle floral-spice notes, gradually layering in earth, forest floor, cocoa, smoke, and dried herbs with air. The palate is dense and structured, with concentrated fruit wrapped around firm, fine-grained tannins and a mineral backbone. Compared with many Bourgognes, this is a more muscular style in its youth, but with time it gains breadth, silkiness, and impressive complexity. It has excellent aging potential and should evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.

Production
Les Pruliers is a Premier Cru site in Nuits-Saint-Georges with chalky clay soils over a stony, mineral-rich subsoil, a terroir that naturally lends depth and tension to Pinot Noir. The vines average more than 40 years of age, keeping yields low and fruit concentration high. Harvesting is done by hand, followed by careful sorting, traditional long fermentation, and maturation in French oak barrels to support structure without masking the vineyard character.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for game such as roe deer or pigeon, as well as braised lamb, duck with sauce, and earthy mushroom dishes. It also pairs well with mature hard cheeses like Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
