The 2006 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Thorey (from a former Thomas-Moillard – now de Montille – monopole situated above Bousselots) smells generously of ripe purple plum and dark cherry with peat and chalk dust; offers mouth-filling richness and silken tannins; and finishes with superb length and balance of ripe fruit and mineral elements. This should be worth following for at least 6-8 years.
