Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey

Good candidate for cellaring. Pitted fruits, floral and licorice notes.

Specifications

Vinification	After a few days of pre-fermentation maceration (5–6 days), fermentation takes place over about 15 days, without adding yeast. The cap-punching and pumping over operations are carried out as necessary to preserve all of the wine's elegance without excessive extraction. After pneumatic pressing and several days in vats, the wines are racked off by gravity, with the proportion of new barrels no greater than 25%.
Vineyard Soil	Brown, gravelly soils with rock fragments
Tasting Notes	Thanks to its solid structure, this wine is a good candidate for cellaring. Its aromatic range plays on pitted fruits, floral and licorice notes that develop more animal, woody notes as the wine ages.
Food Pairings	Goes well with most meats and sauces, and cheeses such as Brie or Camembert.
