Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru comes from three or four different lieux-dits that are vinified together. This is a significant step up from the Village Cru: much more depth and vigor, blackberry and wild hedgerow, bilberry and just a hint of black olive. The medium-bodied palate has quite firm tannins on the entry with mainly black fruit plus cracked black pepper and sage. There’s fine grip, and it is quite dense, but it conveys precision on the sustained finish. I can see 15 to 20 years of drinking pleasure, but it needs four or five years in bottle.

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.
