Tasting notes
Like its 2018 predecessor, the 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos des Ormes (Maison Louis Jadot) is a touch unfriendly at this early stage. Offering up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, dark chocolate and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, with a rather firm, astringent profile. I hope it will round out with further élevage.

The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos des Ormes 1er Cru is nicely composed on the nose, featuring blackberry, sous-bois and light cedar aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and quite gentle in the mouth, with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a pleasant saline/briny note that attracts you back for another sip. One of the most elegant Morey Premier Crus this year.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
