2016 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1. Cru Clos de Thorey Vougeraie

(a monopole of the domaine). Here too there is enough wood present to remark upon surrounding the ripe and fresh dark currant, earth and softly floral-suffused aromas. There is fine volume to the sappy and nicely concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the palate coating, balanced and polished finish. Lovely and fashioned in an understated style. Drink 2024+

La réduction se montre aussi importante que sur Les Damodes. Sa bouche ne trahit pas la finesse de grain de ce joli terroir, qu'on retrouve derrière la force tellurique de Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Lukket duft, krydret duft, mørk frugt. Fyldig smag, rank, saftig med lang, krydret eftersmag.

The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de Thorey 1er Cru has a lot of toasty oak on the nose plus a touch of reduction. The aromatics are opaque and as a consequence it is not as engaging as some of its peers, though there is attractive whole bunch influence. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate acidity, a little chewy in texture with dark berry fruit mixed with spicebox and white pepper. At least there is fine cohesion on the finish - give it 4 or 5 years in bottle. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. 2023 - 2036 .
