with anipasti

This cuvée of Pinot Noir clones 37 and Dijon 777 is named for the sandstone substrate that runs under our Wayfarer Vineyard

It would pair well with a variety of fresh seafood and salad dishes

But an expert winemaking hand is clearly at play

Domaine de Montille Nuits St Georges Aux Thorey 2016 color_White with anipastiMade with two thirds whole bunch and a slightly reduced 40 percent new oak to preserve fruit character, the 2017 Thorey has a classy nose of violets and rose petals, with red fruit rather than black on the palate. This site is particularly high in limestone, giving chalky freshness and a cleansing finish, a structure that Brian finds almost unique in the Cte de Nuits.
