Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos des Thorey” 2018 Magnum – Domaine de la Vougeraie

A characterful Premier Cru from the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos des Thorey 2018 by Domaine de la Vougeraie offers depth, precision and refined structure, in a style that is both elegant and built for long ageing, especially in magnum format.

Terroir & parcels

Located in the northern sector of Nuits-Saint-Georges, close to Vosne-Romanée, the Clos des Thorey benefits from a privileged position that gives the wine a more refined and elegant profile than is typically associated with the appellation. This Premier Cru monopole of Domaine de la Vougeraie is known for producing wines that combine structure, precision and aromatic finesse.

The estate follows a certified organic and biodynamic philosophy, with great care given to soil life and vine balance. Partial whole-cluster fermentation is used to enhance aromatic complexity and preserve fruit purity, while building a fine and long-lasting tannic structure.

The 2018 vintage, marked by generous ripeness and natural concentration, has produced a wine of depth and breadth, while maintaining enough freshness to ensure balance and tension. The magnum format further enhances its ageing potential, allowing for a slower and more harmonious evolution over time.
