Morey-St-Denis

2 parcels from Crais-Gillon and Bas-Chevenery. More limestone, in a Chambolle style. Low proportion of new barrels, 10-15%. This cuvee is about balance and expression of the Morey terroir. Still in tank, a touch reductiv...(read more)

From Cognes and Clos-Solon. Some vines over 55 years old. More clay here, more serious and structured.
Quite a closed nose for now, quite dense and compact. More expressive black fruit on the palate – blackberrie...(read more)

40-45 year-old vines in 'les Crais', next to the white. There is some very white soil and some that's redder in the same parcel, this is from the redder part. A really good village wine, sappy and bright and there's sali...(read more)

The nose, full of black fruit, is a little confused for now, but the palate has that richness of old vines, a supple volume of superfine tannin, and an expression of black fruit that's heading into a sort of mineral dark...(read more)

70% whole bunch. Fresh blackberries just picked on the nose, the palate cool and fresh and silky with a beautiful balance of acidity and slightly saline weight, so that on the finish it is more about mineral than fruit....(read more)

Good intensity on the nose, well ripened strawberries and red berries, follows to the palate. Sleek powerful flow. Pretty tannins, really quite sophisticated. Powerful yet not hefty - this just drives on through the pala...(read more)

45-50% whole bunch. Supple, precise, juicy and in total harmony. Fruit is very much all there but never quite sweet - very crisp, precise. This, as the first of the Morey premiers crus in the tasting, is a class up in si...(read more)

80% Whole bunch. This has real intense power at its core. Broad fruit, deep red and some black notes - but all well ripened and full on. Pure and yet quite charmingly crowd-pleasing matter lies at the core of this - and...(read more)

Focused nose, with soft sweet fruit. Good rich body, pure with lovely depth of flavour. A super village wine which will always be a lovely drink.

Deep colour, very rich, intense fruit and savour, yet still really quite easy, flowing, graceful and classy. Really rather fabulous fruit expression, defined red and black flavours playing off each other and giving real...(read more)

A jump up the the first of the premiers crus. An intensity of tight weave, taut and mouthwatering, fine expressive juice-filled tannins. Classy and long.

A very stony and mineral vineyard. Lovely nose - bright and pure with a ruby-like clarity to the top-note, it's slimline, focused, with 'enough' concentration and weight. Very linear and pure.
