"The 2008 Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru cuvée is really terrific in this vintage, and will prove to be one of the really stellar values amongst this high-powered lineup. The bouquet is deep, vibrant and sappy, as it soars from the glass in a blend of black cherries, plums, bitter chocolate, a simply great, complex expression of soil and a topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and impressively complex, with super purity on the sappy attack, fine mid-palate depth and a very long, modestly tannic and soil-driven finish that closes with great grip and tang. A superb bottle."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
