Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos de Thorey Monopole Premier Cru•2022

Subtle at first, the 2022 Domaine de la Vougeraie Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos de Thorey Premier Cru builds from delicate red and black currant and crushed cherry into a more structured, stony core. The palate is sleek and finely woven, with polished tannins, a cool mineral line and a hint of tea-like spice giving tension to the fruit, finishing with youthful austerity that promises rewarding complexity with time in bottle. This is a graceful, ageworthy expression of Clos de Thorey rather than a powerful one, emphasizing fragrance, precision and finesse over sheer weight.
