2020 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey, Sylvain Cathiard

2020 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey, Sylvain Cathiard

This premier cru has an enviable exposure, similar to Clos St Jacques in Gevrey. These 65 year old vines were planted by Sébastien’s great-grandfather when he was a tenant farmer. Wonderfully cool blue fruit with some ripe acidity giving it lift and drive.

Tasting notes

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.
