Tasting notes
(100% vendange entier ): Good medium red. Aromas of raspberry and herbs show a slightly raw peppery tang. Then elegant and juicy in the mouth, with herb, spice and wild red berry flavors complicated by an intriguing suggestion of peach. On the lean side but persistent and perfumed. This fruit had potential alcohol of 12.5% after the selection, according to regisseur Thierry Brouin.

The 2011 Morey-Saint-Denis Village is imbued with a distinctive, sous-bois and cigar-box bouquet that has respectable definition and vigor. The palate has a pastille-like entry with slightly coarse tannins at the moment, a core of strawberry and pomegranate notes lending this light but agreeable Morey village some much-needed fleshiness on the finish. Drink 2015-2022. Importer: Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
Magic! The flavour is something like boiled sweets – or blackcurrant cough mixture – very Bordelais flavours, really, but the structure is defiantly Burgundian – so light on its feet. Bold, idiosyncratic. (RH)
Good medium red. Expressive, open-knit aromas of raspberry and musky underbrush. Firm, tangy and sweet, with very good energy and cut to its sappy flavors of red raspberry and brown spices. From completely destemmed fruit.
