Tasting notes
Medium red. Very Morey-Saint-Denis in its aromas of musky minerality, mocha, brown spices and earth. Supple and subtly sweet, showing an edge of acidity but smoother tannins than the Chambolle villages . Lovely spicy wine with very good length.

The 2015 Morey St Denis Village has a little more fruit concentration compared directly with the exquisite Chambolle-Musigny Village, the fruit darker and perhaps without quite the same degree of transparency. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, sweet tannin counterbalanced by crisp acidity, a subtle confit-like note that emerges towards the finish and with fine salinity that makes you come back for another sip. Très Morey in style, this is another very impressive village cru courtesy of Taupernot-Merme.
Recently blended and racked prior to tasting. From three parcels: Les Porroux, Les Crais, and one other that I didn't catch! Very rich and sweetly gentle. Maybe not like the average burgundy but possibly tant mieux . Honeyed element to this. Slightly dry end. (JR)
(from Les Porrouxand Les Crais). A well-layered nose offers notes of earth, dark cherry, spice and a discreet hint of wood. There is a lovely sense of energy to the rich and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess even better depth on the lingering and well-balanced finale. This is lovely and should drink well young. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
