Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

92-94 The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis La Riotte 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed this year. This possesses wonderful mineralité and tension on the nose, quite flinty and stony, translating the terroir with style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, a citrus bead of acidity, modest depth but with a very appealing, peppery finish thanks partly to the 30% whole bunch. Excellent.

90-93 Here the nose is aromatically similar to the Clos Baulet but spicier. On the palate the succulent, rich and beautifully textured and palate coating medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a dusty and slightly more complex finale that exhibits fine length. This is lovely and a wine that could be approached after only 4 to 5 years of cellaring yet reward 12 to 15.

Bright raspberry fruit scented with salty mineral notes and a hint of smoke. The texture is fresh and lively, and although the parcel ripened early in 2020, the balance is spot on here. This 0.3ha parcel is in the centre of the village at the foot of the slope, opposite the Clos St-Denis. It lies directly under the combe and does not suffer too much from water stress.
