This stretch, between Nuits St Georges and Dijon, is home to the greatest Pinot Noirs in the world. The 2020s have a combined richness and freshness that set them apart, and promise excellent ageing potential.
This is one of the best terroirs among Morey’s premiers crus, just below Clos de la Roche. It has the suavest touch of reduction on the nose, making it wild yet noble. Voluminous and rich, but with 2020’s freshness and delicious tannins. I ask this every year: is this the best value premier cru red to be found?
Stéphane’s parcel of 65-year-old vines lie right in the heart of the old Clos, the original part of the appellation. It shows delicate salinity and fragrant fruit depth. Truly grand cru. Understated but hugely impressive.
This vineyard has the unusual honour of spanning grand cru (Clos de la Roche), premier cru, and village. Stéphane’s parcel lies right in the middle of the lieu-dit, and thus the premier cru sector. Only 400 litres have been made in 2020, so this brilliant wine will be scarce. It has satisfying richness and brilliantly proportioned freshness.
