This is the second part of a very sharply priced parcel of Gouges that I purchased recently.
I'm excited to offer Gouges 2017 1er Cru Les Pruliers at as low as $95.95. Compare at pricing starts at $125 and goes up steadily from there.
For many, Nuits is one of the most successful places of the 2017 vintage. Gouges' 1er Cru Les Pruliers possesses such balance and clarity that it makes a very persuasive argument that special things happened here.
Typically, Les Pruliers has a fortress-like structure. However, the 2017 adds a surprising brightness and lifted quality. Overall, everything is finely etched and pristine in its expression.
While it is endowed with the masculine, savage character that we’ve come to expect from the site, there’s a beautifully radiant expression of dark fruits and earth-saturated minerality. The palate is wildly textural and ends with an explosive, lengthy finish.
Gouges is one of the legendary producers of Nuits St. Georges. The 2017s show him in top form. At this pricing, it should not be missed.

Burghound: "The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers wafts from the glass with an appealing bouquet of raspberries, red cherries, spiced plums, dried flowers and earthy forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a ripe core of fruit, tangy acids and a firm, stony finish. It's a suave, nicely integrated rendition of a climat that can sometimes be forbiddingly structural in its youth."
