Tasting notes
The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru has a slight torrefactory element on the nose with touches of charcoal infusing the red fruit. It actually coheres nicely in the glass and gains more freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, a crisp line of acidity, a little savory in style, dried blood and black peppers. It just loses its way toward the finish and needs more finesse and refinement. Not bad, but it could be better. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

75% whole clusters; steep, east-facing limestone site; cask sample. Elegant and ripe. Violets and full, opulent raspberry notes. Finishes with quite a mouthful of weighty tannins. Moderate 13% alcohol. (MH)
The 2020 Morey Saint-Denis Les Chaffots 1er Cru is well-defined on the nose touches of rose petal fusing with the well-defined red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, taut and fresh with a lightly spiced, almost Chambolle-like finish.
