Les Procès is a very small 1er Cru that sits south of the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, next to Les Pruliers. The Lachaux's 0.7 hectares accounts for a large chunk of this tiny vineyard and sits just below the Château Gris castle. Maison Joseph Drouhin own almost all of the remaining acreage. This example comes from vines that are more than 50 years old. As always it is a superb red Burgundy, packed with crushed, red berry fruits and loads of spice and fine tannins. Great finesse for Nuits.
A little bit more colour and a little bit meatier, this has solid weight in the centre, raspberry, strawberry and cherry fruit, which continues through across the palate very nicely. It is less ethereal than Les Hautes Maizières, but very well grounded.

This too is overtly floral though with more earth and less spice elements to the mostly red currant suffused nose. The juicy, even succulent medium weight flavors exhibit focused power and drive that carries over to the impressively complex and persistent finish. While this is quite fleshy at present, I suspect that it will tighten up once it's bottled.

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Procès, which includes 50% whole bunches, has a very feminine, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry bouquet that develops flinty scents with aeration. The medium-bodied palate displays supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity, and feels quite compact toward the finish; it will benefit from two or three years in bottle. Excellent.
