2020 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Les Loups, Domaine des Lambrays

2020 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Les Loups, Domaine des Lambrays

This comes from 0.7 hectares of premiers crus across the village: La Riotte, Les Sorbès, and Le Village. The new style of vinification has drawn out the finest qualities of the fruit here: tight red berries, but with a fine silky texture to the tannins, and an elegant thread of acidity.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Loups 1er Cru is a mix of the vineyard and vines younger than 20-years from Clos des Lambrays. Blended with 50% whole bunch, this has a clean, quite precise bouquet with brambly red fruit, chalk and light sous-bois/damps mossy scents. The palate is quite detailed with finer tannins than in recent years, resulting in a silkier texture and more cohesive, sensual finish. This is worth seeking out.
