de Montille Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru 2017 (750ML)

91 JM / 91-93 BH

Two thirds whole bunch, 50% new wood. Pinkish purple, really attractive perfume, ripe cherry, very lifted. Then a little light behind, the fruit just makes it to the back. This is good wine but I cannot help thinking that the village Aux St Juliens delivers nearly as much. Tasted: November 2018. Jasper Morris

Tasting note: Once again there is a beguiling elegance to the pure if spicier aromas of floral-inflected red currant and cherry scents. Once again there is beautiful delineation to the intensely stony medium weight flavors that deliver very fine length on the balanced and complex finish. This too is quite lovely.
