This cuvée is the main reason we started buying the wines from Marchand-Tawse. It is a winner every year. A generous, but well-judged 60% whole-bunch gives it a transparent purity, and the wine displays a tender and delicious blackcurrant fruit pastel core. The vineyard sits just below Clos St-Denis, and next to Faconnières, in the heart of the village. We always lament that it is made in such tiny quantities.
This wine has now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on [email protected] or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.
The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru contains 60% whole bunches and has a more expressive bouquet than the Clos des Ormes: bright red brambly fruit, forest floor and a touch of morels. I like the vitality here. The palate is medium-bodied with good density and grip; there is plenty of weight here with blackberry, wild strawberry and white pepper and clove towards the finish. Excellent.
60% whole bunch vinification, no new wood. An even crimson colour. While retaining its earthy style, the fruit is fuller and altogether classier than Clos des Ormes. Strawberry and raspberry, middleweight and with fair length. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: December 2023.
