The 2010 Morey St. Denis bristles on the palate with brilliant energy and focus. The Morey impresses for its beautifully delineated dark red fruit and sheer personality. This is a fabulous showing at the villages level. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Romain Taupenot lost between 25-40% of his 2010 production to the poor weather, although some of his lower lying parcels were down as much as 80%. Fortunately the Grand Crus were down only 15% on average. The harvest began on September 23. Taupenot reported that the fruit required some sorting in the winery.

Light vibrant leaf-mould nose. Really finely chiselled. Needs lots of time. Very pure. Really explosive. Long. (JR)
This is also extremely pretty if not quite as elegant with an earthy nose of extract of red berry fruit and wet stone aromas introducing round and seductively textured flavors. There is plenty of verve to the detailed and impressively complex finish that delivers excellent length along with fine balance. This too is well worth considering. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
