Tasting notes
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Thorey 1er Cru comes from three-hectares of vines with thte 50% whole bunch courtesy of the old vines. The nose offers dark cherries, crushed strawberry and wild hedgerow scents, fine delineation and vigour. The palate is slightly creamy in texture on the entry, quite plush and fruit-driven, pure red cherries and strawberry fruit with a sleek and caressing finish. Predesigned to seduce, this should age well in bottle.

Just 5% whole bunches! A darker purple, a slightly sombre nose. Huge volume of fruit on the palate, with density, not too many tannins, plum and dark raspberry, retains the sombre character. Enough acidity. Just made with the half of the plot in old vines.�
