Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Bussière 1er Cru offers blackberry, briar and crushed stone aromas on the nose, which is nicely focused but not powerful. The palate is built around chalky tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very focused and fresh, with an almost sorbet-like finish. Roumier said this was the first to be picked and when he analyzed the must, the pH was 3.16 and he thought the laboratory had made an error.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 14 Jan 21
Revisited from bottle, the 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière offers up aromas of cherries, raspberries, Indian spices and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and muscular, it's firm and structured, with rich, chalky tannins and a ripe core of fruit.

Tiny hints of reduction giving a smoky note. Very fine tannins, bright acid. Not quite opening up, but ajar, at least. Not showing the greatness you might quite hope for just yet, but that's burgundy for you. Worth leaving for the benefit of the doubt! (RH)
