Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This comes from 0.7 hectares of Premiers Crus across the village: La Riotte, Les Sorbès, and Le Village. The gentle handling in the cellar draws out the finest qualities of the fruit here: tight red berry fruit, with a fine silky texture to the tannins, and an elegant thread of acidity.
The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Loups 1er Cru contains around 40% whole bunch this year, coming from deeper soils that are more clayey than those for the Village Cru. This is very well defined on the nose, with brambly red fruit and briar unfolding with each swirl yet remaining very controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Quite sweet on the mid-palate with just a hint of dark chocolate, this is actually quite understated on the finish. Give it a couple of years once bottled.
A blend of small clay based 1er Cru vineyards which also see the sun. they no longer include the young vines of Lambrays (from 2022). An even, deep ruby purple. This is not ultra concentrated but it is fine, and the 40% whole bunches give that additional fresh white pepper tingle that works so well here, especially alongside the darker fruit. Fully ripe yet finely balanced. Picked before the rain hence the riper flavour profile. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.
