Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru has a very opulent and ravishing bouquet, very pure with dark cherries, cassis and light floral aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, very good structure, lightly spiced with gentle grip towards the finish. Always one of Cathiard's strongest cards in their portfolio, this should age well in bottle.

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.
