The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Thorey 1er Cru contains 1.5 hectares of 60-year-old vines and 1.5 hectares planted in 2012. Including 15% whole-bunch fruit, it has a fragrant, earthy bouquet that just needs a little more fruit intensity at this stage. The palate is supple and silky on the entry, red cherries intermingling with crushed strawberry and black pepper notes, leading to an elegant and approachable finish. It should give a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure.
