Tasting notes
Bright, dark red. More perfumed on the nose than the village Chambolle, offering ripe scents of black cherry, blackberry, licorice and spices. Still a tad clenched and distinctly dark in its fruit character but this is clearly a more pliant, relaxed style than the Chambolle. Flavors of blackberry and bitter chocolate are accented by minerals and spices. Finishes with lovely length and fine-grained tannins.

The 2016 Morey Saint Denis Village has a more open and expressive, perhaps more vivacious bouquet than the Chambolle-Musigny. This is very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, very well balanced with a superb line of acidity and a natural, you could say almost "effortless" finish that is a joy. What a great village cru this is.
