2023 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey, Sylvain Cathiard

2023 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey, Sylvain Cathiard

Cellar Circle Exclusive

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 spicy, concentrated red fruit with some ripe acidity giving it a voluptuous, yet lifted feel.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru has an open and "airy" bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberries and wilted rose petal scents, and is not concentrated like the previous vintage but very focused. The palate is silky-smooth on the entry and the 60% new oak is just a little "vocal" at the moment, imparting a seductive lactic element toward the finish. That will be subsumed with time. Afford this modern-styled NSG three or four years in bottle.

(91—93)/100

A lighter crimson colour. There is some weight of ripe fruit on the nose, and significantly more on the palate than the village wines, with a depth of dark strawberry and raspberry. Adequate acidity and well tamed tannins supply the structure. Good length to complete the deal. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.
