Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers 2019

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

"This is taut, with firm tannins and a layer of oak gripping the cherry, black currant and mineral flavors, showing a well-defined beam of fruit at the center. Balanced on a linear frame, this needs a few years to find its equilibrium." - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Feb 2022)

"The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru lacks some delineation on the nose. Perhaps it was picked a little late. There is some warmth of alcohol here as it develops quite a potent, if incongruous eucalyptus scent. The palate is medium-bodied, with sappy red fruit and touches of clove and cinnamon leading to a harmonious and quite persistent finish. Those who like a more extravagant Nuits Saint-Georges will appreciate this." - Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100 (Sep 2023)
