Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Genavrières 1er Cru only finished its malolactic in June ‘21. Nevertheless, this has fine delineation and poise on the nose, taut and fresh with impressive mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and ripe, very pure and perhaps the most sensual and Chambolle-like on the finish. Excellent.

Morey-Saint-Denis Fine Wine

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.
