Tasting notes
It’s great to see this wine back after last year, when it wasn’t produced due to the tiny volumes. The fruit comes from Les Faconnières, Les Millandes and Les Cherrières – all of which sit below Clos de la Roche Grand Cru. This is the most approachable wine in the range, showing a vibrant, fruit-forward profile. Nevertheless, there’s still a firmness to the wine – tannins present yet tucked in between the crunch of raspberry and cranberry fruit. Mouth-wateringly fresh, with zesty acidity, this is an appealing and moreish wine.

The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru is attractive, bursting with aromas of sweet dark berries, licorice, warm spices, loamy soil and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, supple and perfumed, it's suave and harmonious, with good depth and a saline finish.
