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

La Vougeraie Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de Thorey Monopole is an exclusive expression of Pinot Noir, produced from a vineyard of about 3 hectares facing south. The vines grow on soil rich in limestone rocks and marl, remnants of an ancient sea that covered this area 200 million years ago. This vineyard has been managed according to biodynamic farming practices since 2012.

The harvest follows a gentle method without crushing. Cold maceration lasts 5 days, followed by a total fermentation period of 19 days. The wine is aged for 16 months in wooden barrels, with 20% new oak sourced from the forests of Cîteaux and Tronçais, without clarification or intense filtration.

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

Perfect to pair with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos de Thorey Monopole enhances refined cuisine, elevating every bite with its intensity and finesse.
