"The 2013 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Aux Chezeaux sports a light and agreeable marine influence on the nose: hints of sea spray infusing the crisp black fruit. The palate is very well defined with a citrus-like freshness, very fine tannin and supremely focused dark berry fruit interlaced with minerals on the finish. This dares to out-play the les Millandes this year...and it might just do it once in 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.
Morey-Saint-Denis is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits with several Grand and Premier Crus, producing structured, deeply flavored Pinot Noir reds balancing the power of Gevrey with the finesse of Chambolle.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
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.
