Critics reviews
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Thorey 1er Cru has a little reduction on the nose, though there seems to be attractive fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sweet black cherries, crushed strawberry fruit and a slightly candied finish. Pretty.
Drink 2024 - 2032
An elegant, spicy and very pretty, even perfumed, nose is comprised by notes of spiced tea, earth, red and dark currant and a very subtle application of wood. The refined, vibrant and utterly delicious middleweight flavors exude evident minerality on the compact, youthfully austere and much better-balanced finale. Lovely and built-to-age.
Drink 2034
The 2022 Clos de Thorey includes the 2012 planting which is picked earlier than the older vines. Mid purple, with a reductive nose that is new since last week, says Sylvie, when this wine was a ball of fruit. It still is in the mouth, mind you, quite an explosion of raspberry and ripe redcurrant, with a very good fruit/acid balance to finish.
Drink 2030 - 2038
