RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

The black cherry and blueberry fruit is supported by a dense structure in this solidly built red.

90-93Stephen Tanzer

Slightly high-toned aromas of cherry, raspberry, boysenberry and spices. Fine-grained, intense and fresh, showing a restrained sweetness and ripe acidity to its black cherry and spice flavors.

90-92Burghound.com

There is a terrific sense of underlying tension to the racy, intense and focused medium-bodied flavors that exhibit good detail and minerality on the beautifully textured finish thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Aux Thorey

Aux Thorey is a 12.5-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Nuits-Saints-Georges appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote-de-Nuits. Because there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saints-Georges, the appellation’s considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus. Aux Chaignots is in the northern part of the appellation, where the soil is limestone mixed with gravel. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that the wines from these northern Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Crus are “rich, full and elegant.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
