Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(50% vendange entier): Good dark red. Riper and lower-toned on the nose than the village cuvée, dominated today by a chocolatey element. Riper and sweeter in the mouth, but less fruity than the village wine and more soil-driven. A peppery nuance gives lift to the middle palate. There's a slight rusticity here but this is classic Morey-Saint-Denis in a rather smooth style. Brouin referred to it as the definition of Morey, which is a blend of Gevrey and Chambolle. This wine comes mostly from Clos Sorbé but also includes fruit from three other plots.
