90/92

(a monopole of the domaine). Here too there is enough wood present to remark upon surrounding the ripe and fresh dark currant, earth and softly floral-suffused aromas. There is fine volume to the sappy and nicely concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the palate coating, balanced and polished finish. Lovely and fashioned in an understated style. Drink 2024+

15.5/16.5

La réduction se montre aussi importante que sur Les Damodes. Sa bouche ne trahit pas la finesse de grain de ce joli terroir, qu'on retrouve derrière la force tellurique de Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Lukket duft, krydret duft, mørk frugt. Fyldig smag, rank, saftig med lang, krydret eftersmag.

The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de Thorey 1er Cru has a lot of toasty oak on the nose plus a touch of reduction. The aromatics are opaque and as a consequence it is not as engaging as some of its peers, though there is attractive whole bunch influence. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, moderate acidity, a little chewy in texture with dark berry fruit mixed with spicebox and white pepper. At least there is fine cohesion on the finish - give it 4 or 5 years in bottle. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. 2023 - 2036 .
