This tiny vineyard of just over 3 hectares borders directly
on to 3 Grand cru vineyards (Bonnes Mares, Clos de Tart and Clos des Lambrays) and Virgile owns 1.9 ha of vines planted 1975 bordering on to those Grand cru’s.
A stunning village site and from his fabulous holding this wine looks closer to Premier cru standard than village in intensity and detail.

Tasting note
A notably cooler nose reflects notes of cassis, blueberry and plenty of floral elements. The quite finely detailed and lightly stony middle weight flavors possess a suave mid-palate mouthfeel while culminate in a lingering bitter cherry pit-inflected finish. Good stuff, especially for a villages level Morey St. Denis.
Wine-food combination
Feathered game, roasted white meets, lean red meat, cheeses
Vinification
30% whole-cluster, short cold maceration before fermentation, rapid de-vatting. Aged for 12 months on fine lees in barrel (20-30% new), 5 months settling in tank, light white earth filtration.
