Romain Taupenot continues to oversee the inexorable climb of this fantastic domaine, now indisputably in the premier League, whilst retaining its value proposition. He crafts wines of structure, clear vineyard expression, and complexity from an exciting array of vineyards, and the wines are high class examples of their appellations.
Rich in Premiers Crus, Morey-Saint-Denis boasts also 5 Grands Crus (Clos de Tart, Bonnes Mares, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos des Lambrays). The appellation forms a bridge, between the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin and those of Chambolle-Musigny.
Drinking window: 2025 - 2036
What the critics say:
"Fine mid purple. The nose shows an attractive degree of ripeness, dark fruit without being too plummy. Almost floral in a sense but mostly from fresh but ripe deep red fruit. Some white pepper behind, and a long gracious pure red fruit, fresh raspberries. Attractively persistent and quite distinguished. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: November 2022."
"There is a subtle floral influence on the slightly riper if somber earth-infused aromas of smoked meat and plum. The supple and sleek bigger-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration, power and an overt muscularity before ending in an impressively complex, moderately austere and long finish. I particularly like the balance, and this should amply repay a decade plus of cellaring. **Sweet spot, Outstanding** "
