Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos de Thorey” Monopole Reviews

This dense version is packed with wild cherry and tobacco flavors. Lean and tense, unraveling through the long finish. 

Here too a subtle application of oak sets off the spicy and softly floral-inflected nose of red and dark currant, plum, violet and earth scents. There a really lovely, even seductive, texture to the concentrated yet sleek middle weight flavors that deliver excellent depth and length on the beautifully balanced finish. In 2014 this highly attractive effort is more Vosne than Nuits in style plus it should drink well early.

The 2014 Nuits Saint Georges 1Er Cru Clos des Thorey has a very attractive bouquet, bright and lively with red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit intermingled with fine mineral tones. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky smooth texture, well judged acidity, seamlessly integrated oak and a harmonious pastille-like finish. This is just a superb Nuits Saint Georges from winemaker Pierre Vincent.
