2022 Marchand & Burch Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes Premier Cru
$300.00
Morey-Saint-Denis is a commune and corresponding appellation in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy. The vast majority of production is Pinot Noir, with only a tiny amount of vineyard land planted to Chardonnay. Its position between the legendary neighbouring villages of Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny bears some telling relevance to the style and quality of its wines. There is a frank, lush fruitiness about a good Morey, often with dark earth and forest overtones.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Les Millandes sits so close to the Clos de la Roche it surely captures some of it’s grandeur!? Aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry, and cinnamon spice dominate, interwoven with rich floral notes, hints of menthol, forest floor, and a distinct petrichor essence. On the palate, bold and concentrated layers of dark berry fruit, tangy rhubarb, cherry, and dark chocolate unfold with striking intensity. Firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and deep, savoury complexity, frame a wine with forceful energy and remarkable structure. Its presence is commanding, yet balanced and poised.
Food Match
