S Cathiard & Fils Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey 2020, 75cl

With considerable growth coming from new vineyards, the Les Hautes Côtes estate is spread across 12.5 hectares of land. The estate is one of the undoubted superstars of the region. Sébastien took over the family estate in 2011 and has even exceeded the stellar success of his father, Sylvain. The estate now operates on biodynamic principles for all the wines, leaving them all in barrel over two winters.

The vineyard ‘Aux Thorey’ lies at a higher location on the slope overlooking Nuits St Georges, and it is this location that influences the tighter, more mineral flavours of the wine. 

Tasting Notes:

Perfume of fruit, spice and oak, the 2020 vintage shows great depth and concentration of fruit, packed full of seductive layers of ripe red and black fruit; a wine which will further develop over the coming years.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve from 2026 onwards
