Tasting notes
Very charming with round, ripe red fruit flavours, well balanced acidity and only the lightest of tannins. Admirable purity. (JR)

The 2010 Morey St. Denis shows the weight and broad shoulders of Morey in its dark red fruit, flowers, mint and licorice. There is plenty of freshness, vibrancy and drive in this beautifully balanced villages-level wine. I especially like the minerality of the finish. The Morey is made from parcels in Poroux, Clos Solon and Chenevery.
More savoury, drier tannins, fine and dry. Embryonic with quite a grip and dark fruit on the finish but all in balance. (JH)

The Morey is made from parcels in Poroux, Clos Solon and Chenevery. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Laurent Lignier began harvesting on September 30 and finished on October 5. Yields were down approximately 30-35% across the board because of the cold summer. Lignier reported that the fruit required minimal sorting but the bunches were very small. The 2010s had not been racked at the time of my tastings. Lignier planned to bottle in the spring of 2012 with no fining or filtration. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchant, Pine Plains, NY; tel.
