📜 Morey-Saint-Denis
A Côte de Nuits village between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny.
Morey-Saint-Denis is a village and protected appellation in Burgundy, France. It lies in the Côte de Nuits between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. The village is small and its wines are less famous than its neighbours', although the appellation includes several grands crus.
Mostly red wine is made here from Pinot Noir. A little white from Chardonnay is made too. Red Morey-Saint-Denis stands in style between the powerful Gevrey-Chambertin and the elegant Chambolle-Musigny: dense but fine, with aromas of red and dark berries, spice and forest floor. With the years the wine opens and gains complexity.
Morey-Saint-Denis is a still wine. A good choice for those who want to try Burgundy but are not ready to pay for the most famous names. It is served with poultry, meat and mushrooms. The village sits on limestone slopes. The wine belongs to French wine and to the Côte de Nuits. As everywhere in Burgundy, the plot and the producer matter.
