The 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les Pruliers is one of the more immediate of the 1er Crus at Taupenot-Merme. A burst of dark red fruit flows through to the juicy, expressive finish.

This is quite earthy and even more intensely sauvage with its deeply pitched nose of dark berry fruit, smoked meat and herbal tea hints.
