Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Chenevery 1er Cru was showing just a little more oak on the nose compared to Virgile Lignier’s other Morey Premier Crus. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, weighty and broad-shouldered, fine acidity with just a touch of dark chocolate/mocha towards the persistent finish. Lot of horsepower here, though I err more towards the Faconnières or Genavrières this year.

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.
