Morey-Saint-Denis is located in the Côte de Nuits, between Gevrey
Chambertin to the north, and Chambolle-Musigny to the south. The
vineyards cover a surface area of 230 acres including 100 acres of
Premier Crus and almost exclusively produce red Pinot Noir wines. This
appellation offers a combination of the masculine character of Gevrey
Chambertin and the feminine typicity of Chambolle-Musigny.
"Les Sorbets" is a Premier Cru located at an altitude of 250 metres. Its
name refers to the rowan trees (sorbiers) that were once commonly found
on this plot, prized for their orangey-red fruit, flowers and wood.
WINEMAKING/AGEING
Handpicking, grape sorting upon arrival at the winery.
Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated wooden vats for 18 to 21
days.
Aging in oak barrels (35 to 40% new barrels) for 16 to 17 months.
TASTING
The intense nose is redolent of red and black fruit (raspberry,
blackcurrant, raspberry...) combined with a delicate touch of oak, which
will evolve over time towards more complex scents (spices, forest
undergrowth, leather...). Fleshy and full bodied on the palate, this wine
offers pleasing structure that lends it perfect balance. The long finish is
silky and deliciously fruity.
SERVING
Serve at 16-17°C (60-62°F).
Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, duck, game)
Medium to mature cheeses
Recipe suggestion: medallion of venison with mushroom sauce
