Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru has certainly lost its "aloof" personality that I encountered in bottle. Now, it is quite opulent on the nose with generous red and black fruit intermixed with black truffle and mint. Indeed, this develops a slightly medicinal quality with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a tart entry. There is fine depth, but it is a bit pinched on the medicinal, camphor-tinged finish.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
