Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges 1er cru Les Pruliers 2019

95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Sanguine and sappy, Les Pruliers is dense but very well-balanced, with a sinuous iron note that lengthens the palate superbly. (2022)"

92-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Deep purple, a more even colour, less black in the mix. I also found a much purer and less exaggerated bouquet. There is a fine intense core of deep raspberry with perhaps even some richer black cherry notes, but Pruliers is managing its sunshine better, with a classy finish at the back. (Nov 2020)"

92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Unwinding in the glass with notes of blackberries, cassis, dark chocolate and spices, the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers is medium to full-bodied, rich and textural, its muscular chassis of tannin cloaked in an enveloping core of fruit, concluding with a mineral finish. This is quite a velvety, charming rendition of Chevillon's Pruliers. (Jan 2021)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has more freshness and delineation on the nose compared to the Les Perrières, and a little more focus, offering mineral-rich red berry fruit. The palate is very well balanced with nicely integrated oak. The terroir expression is more articulated here compared to some of Chevillon’s other Premier Crus and there is plenty of tension on the sorbet-fresh finish. Excellent. Drink: 2024-2040. (Dec 2020)"

92-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .70 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines). Interestingly, this possess a similar fruit profile though with decidedly more earth and sauvage characters suffusing it. There is excellent mid-palate density to the powerful and muscular big-bodied flavors that culminate in a powerful, austere and even more serious finale. Drink: 2036+. (Jan 2021)"

93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$176 list] A sleek, firmly built red marked by dark-toned blackberry, blueberry and spice flavors, with underlying woodsy accents. Tightens up on the finish, where dense tannins vie with the fruit and spice components. Shows sneaky length. Best from 2025 through 2043. (2/1/23)"
