Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed this year. This possesses wonderful mineralité and tension on the nose, quite flinty and stony, translating the terroir with style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, a citrus bead of acidity, modest depth but with a very appealing, peppery finish thanks partly to the 30% whole bunch. 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.
