Morey-Saint-Denis Premier cru “Les Charrières”

The vineyards are planted upon limestone and chalky-clay from the Jurassic period: white oolite from the Bathonian can be found at the top of the hillside, and limestone formed with fossils at the bottom of the slope. Exposed eastward, it is at about 250 meters in altitude.

: As a general rule, this Morey 1er Cru offers hues of intense carmine with violet reflections. The nose is very typical to Pinot Noir, offering primary aromas of red and black fruits, like cherry and blackcurrant. The second nose brings notes of eau-de-vie fruits as well as some floral touches. On the palate, it’s a sophisticated wine, well built and well-defined. The tannins lack neither finesse nor elegance.

2024 will be remembered as a demanding year in the vineyard, marked by a wet spring and a generous fruit set. Careful sorting and precise harvesting brought in grapes of lovely ripeness. The reds show bright, fruit-driven juices with supple tannins and a freshness that defines the vintage.
