- PhilosophyFar-reaching memories: Niched between its two prestigious neighbours, Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis holds particular charm for the Delaunay family with whose growers it has always maintained faithful friendships. As a matter of fact, it was there that Laurent Delaunay had his first experience with vinification in 1983 and discovered these fragrant, powerful wines that feature characteristic notes of rose and violet.
- TerroirThe grapes that make up this cuvée are sourced from four different climats (“Les Craies”, “Les Cognées”, “Les Corvées Creunilles” and “Les Cheneverys”), all of which are located below the village, to the east. The vines thrive in deep, rich soil that lends the wine considerable power.
- Vinification and ageingThe grapes were handpicked and meticulously sorted so as to only retain the finest bunches of grapes, which were destemmed before being transferred to tanks. Daily punch-downs were performed during the vinification process. Barrel ageing lasted 15 months (25% new oak from Central France forests).
- Tasting notesGorgeous deep, intense red colour. The superb nose features sophisticated, complex aromas of ripe cherry, dark chocolate and orange peel. These are followed by notes of toast, spice (cinnamon and nutmeg), along with a fresher hint of pine. Remarkable, rich, dense start to the palate with flavours of wild fruit (medlar, sloe). The tannins are fine, noble and peppery. Notes of tobacco and stone then emerge and contribute to the lengthy finish. This wine, which boasts impressive cellaring potential, is endowed with exceptional richness and complexity.
