| Description: | Description. The village of Morey-Saint-Denis can be found just to the south of Gevrey-Chambertin and produces wines that are predominantly red and which were not distinguished from its neighbours until the strict application of the Appellation Contrôlée laws in the 1930's. The wines, on the whole, show a greater depth and concentration than those of Gevrey-Chambertin and their tannins are less forthright. They tend to be rich with lashings of red and black fruit character. Vinification & Ageing. Fermentation. Traditional in open vats. Ageing. 10 to 12 months ageing in oak barrels, 20% new. Barrels. Louis Latour cooperage, french oak, medium toasted. Wine tasting. Tasting Note. Of a ruby red colour, our Morey-Saint-Denis 2016 reveals pleasant notes of undergrowth with subtle hints of liquorice and raspberry. The mouth, long and gourmet, has silky tannins. Aromas of mocha, liquorice and blackcurrant go along with a fresh finish. Food Pairing. Game - red meat - mature cheeses Region Description. (shar dohn nay)—This noble grape's reputation was established in France, particularly in the Burgundy region, and the highly prized Chardonnay wines from Chablis, Mâcon, Mersault, and Pouilly-Fuissé are imitated by winemakers around the world. Generally an oaked wine (whether from expensive oak barrels or a quick soak in oak chips), its fruity aromas and flavors range from apple in the cooler regions to tropical fruits such a pineapple in the warmer regions. It can also display subtle earthy aromas, such as mushroom or minerals. It has a medium to high acidity and is generally full-bodied. Classical Chardonnay wines are dry. Chardonnay is also an important grape in the Champagne district where it's picked before fully ripe and while it still has high acid and understated fruit flavors—the perfect combination for champagne. California has adopted this grape with a fervor and there are some 200 wineries producing Chardonnay wines in other parts of the United States. Chardonnay has also seen a tremendous planting surge in Australia, and new vineyards are being planted in Italy, Lebanon, New Zealand, Spain, and South Africa. |
