Tasting notes
The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru has a feisty tart nose with kirsch and blood orange, initially not speaking of its appellation though that does evolve with aeration as it gains personality. The palate has a bitter entry, hard and rather coarse tannins, very drying towards the finish. Not sure about the future of this Morey - will it knit together? It will go either way. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of sweet cherries and red berries mingled with nuances of rose petals, orange rind, cinnamon and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, muscular and structured, with lively acids, fine concentration and a youthfully chalky finish.
