FEATURES
🏰 The 2014 Burgundy vintage was a tricky and cool year for Pinot Noir, yet it was also described as a "very, very fine year" for Burgundy overall. Domaine Louis Boillot, established in the 1990s, holds Premier Cru parcels in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Les Pruliers is a significant 17.7-acre Premier Cru vineyard within Nuits-Saint-Georges, an appellation whose considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus, as it has no Grand Cru vineyards. The vineyard benefits from an ideal elevation of 250-270 meters and soils rich in stone, gravel, and limestone.
This 2014 Nuits St Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru from Louis Boillot offers a nose of blackberry, iron, and spring flowers, with a palate that shows great drive and mineral freshness, along with plenty of flesh on the bones, feeling very complete. Other descriptions for this wine include slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry, coffee, and minerals, with a positive vegetal nuance. The palate is creamy-sweet and highly concentrated, showcasing a lovely balance of sucrosité and acidity, resulting in a silky and stylish wine. It has also been noted for its well-integrated, balanced, and relatively satiny texture, with red fruit (sour red cherries), earth, dried herbs, and ferrous elements, presenting a lighter weight with fresh acidity.
🍴 This classic 1er Cru Burgundy is well-suited for roasted lamb, beef bourguignon, and various game dishes. It also pairs beautifully with strong and aged cheeses. Specific recommendations include duck, goose, and game birds, as well as Angus beef steak.
