"Given how inherently elegant the 2012 vintage is across the board, I knew I should be expecting something special from the Chevillons’ Pruliers, but it was still a very pleasant surprise to see just how red fruity and refined this wine is out of the blocks. The gorgeous and suave nose offers up a fine blend of cherries, pomegranate, great minerality, nutskin, woodsmoke, cocoa, gamebirds and a whisper of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very much defined by its minerality today, with a sappy core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and outstanding focus and grip on the very, very long and still quite primary finish. This is an extra special vintage for the Pruliers." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Nov/Dec 2013, Issue #48 |
