Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 14
The 2012 Nuits St. Georges Aux Thorey is wonderfully vivid and alive. Rose petals and smoke are followed by a hint of new leather and dark red fruit. The 2012 is marked by its intense, pulsating fruit, crystalline minerality and super-expressive aromatics. Vosne aromatic meets Nuits structure in a striking, drop-dead gorgeous Burgundy that delivers the goods, and then some.

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.
