Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 13
Bright full, deep red. Ripe aromas of raspberry liqueur, coffee, mocha and smoky underbrush, with complicating notes of rust, pepper and herbs. Ripe, broad and lush in the mouth, offering an attractive balance of saline minerality and sweet raspberry and strawberry fruit. Finishes sweet and persistent, with fine, horizontal tannins and a light peppery note from the 50% whole-berry fermentation. Excellent potential.

Morey-Saint-Denis

Morey-Saint-Denis, a prestigious appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is known for its elegant, well-structured Pinot Noir wines that balance the power of Gevrey-Chambertin and the finesse of Chambolle-Musigny. These wines feature flavours of red and black fruits, earthy spices, and floral notes, with refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. Home to five Grand Cru vineyards, including Clos de Tart and Clos Saint-Denis, top producers like Domaine Dujac, Domaine Ponsot, and Domaine des Lambrays are celebrated for their traditional winemaking and expressive wines.
