"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."
