Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC 1er Cru Clos de Thorey Monopole 2021 Domaine de la Vougeraie

The La Vougeraie Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de Thorey Monopole is an exclusive expression of Pinot Noir, produced in a vineyard of approximately 3 hectares with southern exposure. The plants arise on a soil rich in limestone rocks and marl, witnesses of an ancient sea that extended here 200 million years ago. This vineyard has been managed following organic and biodynamic farming practices since 2012.

The harvest follows a delicate method without pressing. Cold maceration lasts 5 days, followed by a total fermentation of 19 days. The refinement lasts 16 months in wooden barrels, with 20% new wood coming from the forests of Cîteaux and Tronçais, without clarification or intense filtration.

This wine stands out for its elegance and complexity, offering a rich bouquet of ripe red fruits, subtle earthy notes and a light touch of spices and vanilla. The structure is well balanced, with fine tannins and a long and inviting aromatic persistence.

Perfect in combination with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses, the Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de Thorey Monopole enhances refined cuisine, enhancing every bite with its intensity and finesse.
