2012 Technical Specifications
Drinking Window 2025–2065
Classification Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru
Region Les Pruliers
Production Details Bertrand Chevillon used a gentler extraction approach in 2012. Vinous reports that the wines had been racked once after malolactic fermentation and remained in barrel when tasted. John Gilman reports that the entire premier-cru range was racked in July 2013 and tasted in November.
Tasting Notes Cherries, pomegranate, minerality, nutskin, woodsmoke, cocoa, gamebird and a whisper of new wood; deep and full-bodied, with a sappy core, fine-grained tannins and a very long, focused finish. Vinous additionally describes dark red cherries, plums, smoke and liquorice, with substantial richness, depth and imposing tannins.
