Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru - 2009 (750ml) Tony Garber the 2008 should be purchasedThe 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Pruliers wafts from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet spices, smoke and red berries, all supported by fine, but youthful tannins. The aromas and flavors are quite open and expressive, but the tannins need another few years in bottle to soften further. For now, the Pruliers is a wine for the cellar. The inner purity, sweetness and breadth all hold significant promise. Anticipated maturity: 2019 2039. Wine Advocate
