Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Morey Saint-Denis Aux Charmes 1er Cru has a straightforward and open-knit bouquet that does not make a huge leap over the Village Cru. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, dark berry fruit laced with black tea, with a simple, easy-going finish that needs more grip.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2030

Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 13 Jan 20
Bottled. Aromas are both red-fruited and more savoury. Ripe cherries. Lively and juicy on the palate, definite tannins just right for the depth of fruit. Has the pretty fruit and floral notes as well as the peppery quality of Morey. Moreish, moderate length. (JH)
