Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid crimson. Smells really sweet and very ripe but still fresh-fruited. On the palate, it feels very slightly forced but it has intensity and power if you are not so keen on a more delicate style. Firm tannic texture but no lack of freshness. All in balance if not my favourite style. (JH)

The 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Aux Cheseaux includes 20% whole bunch with the same percentage of new oak. This is much more expressive on the nose than the Millandes at the moment, ebullient black cherries and bilberry jam. The palate is showing very well, full of energy with fine tannin, a grainy/chalky texture and a palpable sense of mineral tension toward the sustained finish. This is one of the best Aux Cheseaux that I have tasted from barrel at the domaine.
