Tasting notes
Cask sample. Vibrant mid cherry red. More sweet-sour red fruit here, more obvious on the nose than the Clos Solon, and there seems to be a touch more oak influence, though it could just be the site. As with the village Morey, there’s the perfect combination of dark floral notes and perfumed red fruit. Red cherry. Intense and yet delicate fruit, red and tangy. Fine, slightly chalky tannins increase the already notable freshness. Long and elegant. (JH)

The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru came across very backward on the nose, gradually opening with black fruit and black olive/briny aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe black cherry and blueberry fruit, sweet and sorbet-fresh with a high-toned, yet focused finish that lingers long in the mouth. Very promising but it will require 3-4 years in bottle.
