Bottled. Lightish cherry red. Seductively inviting combination of red fruits and a hint of smoky reduction giving a more savoury character. Lightly peppery and lifted. Gorgeously open and scented on the palate, a real beauty of pure fruit and village typicality. Succulent and sustained. (JH)
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village offers simple red berries on the nose, along with a slight metallic tincture that will hopefully ebb with time. The well-balanced palate opens supple and quite fleshy, featuring sweet red cherries and candied orange peel. Lithe and precise, with a touch of white pepper toward the finish. Enjoy over the next six to eight years.
About the producer
Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot may not carry the cachet of the very top domaines in the village, but it does offer some of the best value, producing wines with great terroir transparency in their top Premiers and Grands Crus, and fabulous village wines.
