［パーカー評価］91-92点
The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Thoreys represents another sizeable
former Thomas-Moillard monopole (above Bousselots), a portion of
which de Montille has retained. (Part of the site was deeded to
Sylvain Cathiard to free his lease on a portion of the Thomas-
Moillard Malconsorts, and part went to the Seysses family of
Domaine Dujac, who elected not to retain it after the 2005 vintage.)
Vanilla tinged stewed rhubarb and roasted meats emerge from the
glass, and the palate alternates between tart brightness and
vanilla cream, meat and stony mineral steadily underlying the
whole. The clearly major tannins are quite fine-grained and the
finish is fonnidably persistent. This already impressively-endowed
Pinot bids fair to become very interesting in 5-7 years.
