DOMAINE DE MONTILLE NUITS SAINT GEORGES 1ER CRU AUX THEORY
This is a big, forceful wine bristling with energy and class. Saline, mineral notes give the Aux Thorey tons of cut. The fruit fleshes out big on the finish, adding depth and volume, but without sacrificing the wine’s focus.

Deep black/red colour for its age. It has a core of concentrated black cherry flavour but still firm ,acidic, tannic and closed.

Light ruby red colour. A gummy cherry candy and smoky mushroom taste on the palate.
