Tasting notes
The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Baulets 1er Cru is the smallest Premier Cru on brown soils, with Lambrays holding 0.3 hectares. The 50% stems seem quite exposed on the nose and occludes the fruit at present. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and slightly darker fruit. It is overtly peppery thanks to those stems, which will require time to integrate. I will be prudent for now.

A 0.3-ha (0.74-acre) plot in the smallest premier cru in Morey-St-Denis of just 0.87 ha (2.15 acres). On ‘terre blanche’ clay. Harvested 7 September. Cask sample. Mid ruby. Rich and perfumed nose of iodine, violets and dark raspberry. Lovely ripe texture with lots of roses and violets on the palate, too. It’s very suave. Ticking all the boxes and agreeably forward. (MH)
