🏰The 2016 David Duband Nuits Saint Georges Aux Thorey 1er Cru is a testament to Duband's 【up-to-date, classic, modern winemaking and high quality】, offering a more seductive and approachable style than the 2015s, yet still promising excellent aging potential. This red 布根地 (Burgundy) displays an attractively spicy combination of red and dark Pinot fruit, soft earth, and an abundance of floral elements, with a finer mouthfeel. It has a crisp, juicy nose of red Williams pear and ripe nectarine, with aromas of noble botanicals like tagetes, verbena, and hyacinth, underpinned by roasted raspberry and kaffir lime leaf. The palate is zesty and airy, focused on strawberry and gourmand character, delicate and refreshing with fine length carried by acidity. Expect a crystal clear and brilliant ruby red color, with a basket of red and black berries, dominant strawberries and raspberries, and iris notes, leading to a greedy finish with extreme elegance. 🍴 Excellent pairings include denti tartare with mandarin and passion fruit, raw cream infused with cardamom, or a wide variety of other dishes that complement Pinot Noir. 🥂 A versatile and elegant Nuits-Saint-Georges, perfect for a refined dinner, a celebratory meal, or for those who appreciate a 布根地 (Burgundy) with both aging potential and early approachability.
