Our Morey-Saint-Denis

This appellation is matured in new oak barrels and barrels previously used for one wine made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins.

Its colour is deep garnet with purplish glints when this appellation is young. The bouquet, with black fruit, blackcurrant, blueberry, red stone fruit and a touch of vanilla, gives way to a fleshed vinous body presenting fruity, melted tannins and a harmonious woody nose. Morey-Saint-Denis offers a pleasant style that balances body strength and the expression of the fruit.
