Antonio Galloni, January 2014, Score: 87-89+
The 2012 Nuits St. Georges Clos du Thorey is an addition to the Vougeraie range. Sweet floral notes, spices and crushed red berries all lift out of the glass in a wine that shows the more finessed side of Nuits. The Clos du Thorey is pretty, but it also comes across as not quite fully formed just yet. Drink 2019-2034

Burghound, January 2015, Score: 90
A relatively high-toned and markedly cool and airy nose of pure red pinot fruit and floral aromas are laced with hints of wood and the sauvage. There is a racy and intense feel to the delineated and notably mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess fine depth and richness on the solidly persistent finale. This is a generous yet refined effort that should drink well young if desired. Drink 2019+

Jancis Robinson, January 2014, Score: 16.5
Red cherry with a creamy overlay. Much more tangy on the palate. Bright and zesty, the fruit putting the tannins into the background, though they are present. Drink 2016-2022

Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
