2022  

100% Pinot Noir.

Colour: Very nice dark ruby red, deep and bright.

Bouquet: The nose reveals strong aromas of small black and red fruit, and elegant hints of wood and licorice.

Palate: Very nice structure in the mouth, well-balanced, with some fruity, animal, and delicious spicy notes. The tannins are present but silky, maintained by a good vinosity. A rich, sophisticated, powerful wine, with a great persistent finish.

Pair it with good red meats served rare, or with game, rabbit in mustard sauce, pigeon, guinea fowl, or even a firm-fleshed fish or flavorful cheeses such a Edam.

Serve at a temperature of 15-16°C. (59-61°F.).

This wine offers a good ageing potential if stored in optimal conditions, 10 years in the cellar.

There are 90 hectares of vines at Morey-Saint-Denis, with a large majority of reds. The vineyards are wedged between Gevrey Chambertin and Clos de Vougeot. This village has a remarkable vineyard with four Grand Crus (Clos Saint Denis, Clos de la Roche, Clos des Lambrays, Clos de Tart) and around twenty Premiers Crus.

Morey is unique in being the only village on the Côte de Nuits to have its entire slopes classified as Grand Cru, covering almost 37 hectares facing east and grouping together four Clos, two of which reach near-absolute perfection.

- Middle Jurassic limestone and clay-limestone soils.
- East and south-east facing.
- Altitude: between 220 and 270 metres.

The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted in the vineyard and then sorted again in the winery. The grapes are then destemmed and placed in stainless steel vats for pre-fermentation cold maceration (6 days at 8°C). Alcoholic fermentation lasts 10 days at 30°C, with pumping over and punching down twice a day. Finally, the wine is aged for 14 months in oak barrels, 25% of which are new.

The Weather: Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
