Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Aux Thorey'

Aux Thorey sits on a cool, breeze-touched spur above the town, catching air that drifts down from the Hautes-Cotes - which shows up as something Nuits-Saint-Georges isn't always known for: elegance rather than muscle. Expect peony and orange rind alongside the usual dark fruit, and a wine built to age rather than impress immediately.
