Tasting notes
(I tasted this and the following wines in the estate's "grand cru" cellar, which is typically 2 degrees C cooler): Subdued but very pure aromas of black fruits. Juicy, crunchy and intense in the mouth, with a salty complexity to the flavors of black raspberry and red licorice. Finishes very long, with fine-grained tannins and a sappy flavor of black cherry. This is Vincent's second vintage for this wine, which comes from vines that face southeast but also benefit from the cooling influence of the Combe de la Serrée.

The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Thorey had been racked the previous week. It is matured with 50% whole cluster and aged in 40% new oak. The nose is more expressive than the Corvées Pagets at the moment, with vibrant redcurrant and fresh strawberry scents interlaced with autumn leaves and wild hedgerow. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline tang on the entry, plenty of energy here, with impressive body and structure on the finish.
