Product Notes

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Pruliers' is a splendid French Burgundy wine. Made from Pinot Noir grapes, its excellence is notable; harmoniously blending savoury, herbaceous undertones with dark fruit accents. Its moderate acidity and refined tannins contribute to an exquisitely balanced, medium-bodied palate. This wine's captivating bouquet permeates earthy, spicy notes. There is an impressive ageing potential as it matures beautifully. The wine, maturing in oak barrels, borrows subtle hints of vanilla, which further enrich its spectacular profile. This refined Burgundy, with its respectable lineage and meticulous crafting, delivers a truly delightful and unforgettable drinking experience.
