Vineyards situation
The Nuits-Saint-Georges wines are produced on a piece of land delimited by Premeaux-Prissey and Vosne-Romanée.
The soils are basically composed of limestone and marl. A perfect exposure to the East gives the capacity to produce splendid wines.
Characteristics
The «Aux Thorey» vineyard is located north of Nuits-Saint-Georges, and therefore very much influenced by Vosne-Romanée.
Wine making
This wine is bought in grapes, thanks to a partnership we have with a small producer. The grapes are fermented in vats for 3-4 weeks and then aged 15 months in oak barrels before bottling.
Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy
"Aux Thorey" is very much similar to the terroir of "les Boudots", producing a rich and vigorous wine on the palate, with a deep, pungent bouquet, it shows a very interesting dimension and structure.
It will be a good partner for red wine sauces, marinated or roasted game as well as for medium tasting cheeses.
Preservation
This wine will age easily for 12-15 years in good conditions of temperature and humidity.
