Tasting Notes

91-93
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 02 Jan 15
The 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Aux Chezeaux sports a light and agreeable marine influence on the nose: hints of sea spray infusing the crisp black fruit. The palate is very well defined with a citrus-like freshness, very fine tannin and supremely focused dark berry fruit interlaced with minerals on the finish. This dares to out-play the les Millandes this year...and it might just do it once in bottle.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 15
(from soil rich in young calcaire): Bright medium red. Wild aromas of smoky minerals, rose petal and pomegranate. The pomegranate fruit quality gives terrific cut to the mid-palate. Very nicely balanced wine with captivating inner-mouth tension and purity. The tangy red berry flavors are nicely framed by ripe, spicy, dusty tannins on the juicy aftertaste. Good mineral extract here.

Deep crimson. Spice and malted character on the nose. Dark, firm and savoury on the palate. Cool dark fruit. Refined and dry on the finish. (JH)
