Offering up aromas of red berries, orange rind, raw cocoa and sweet soil tones, the 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Cuvée des Grives is medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with a racy spine of acidity and fine, powdery tannins behind its ample core of succulent fruit.

The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village Cuvée des Grives comes from just below the woods above the village. It has a clean, precise bouquet of pastille-like blackberry and bilberry fruit, tightly wound at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite focused and very well balanced. This is an unassuming but effective Morey Village with a wonderful saline finish. Superb.
