Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey 2021 David Duband
Domaine David Duband's 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from vineyards around 60 years old from limestone marl soils. The grapes are harvested strictly by hand, selected and vinified with 80% whole bunches for about 2 weeks.
After fermentation, the grapes are pressed and the wine is racked 40% into new barrels and 60% into first, second and third passage barrels. After 14 months of ageing, the wines are racked into vats, where they settle for about 3 months before being bottled without filtration or ageing.
David Duband's 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Thorey expresses a bright ruby red colour to the eye. The nose gives aromas of strawberry, raspberry and flowers such as iris. The sip is mouth-watering and balanced, very elegant.
