Morey St. Denis, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
First sentence is a tester. Now the full note. We don’t often have Grand Cru Burgundy but we had roast duck legs on Mother’s Day. An intensity to the nose - Sous Bois/Compost heap with savoury red fruits - smoky with a hint of pepper. Many of the experts are saying a high influence of stems in the ferment is apparent and I totally agree. Interestingly Richard Hemming MW gave the wine 19.5/20 and said “This is what all the Burgundy fuss is all about.” Continuing to evaluate - this wine has a beautiful nose (very Morey one taster said). In summary a magnificent wine with great persistence. One of the 1001 Wines. Clos des Lambrays can trace its history back to the 14th century.

Don’t open it yet! Took 11 hours to open up! But all signs point in the right direction.

This had lots of dark cherry & berry fruits, earth with sweet spice, good density & balance.

Выпито 19.10.21 в только что получившем звезду Мишлена ресторане Белуга. Это Вино ( 71500 рублей) выбрал - Вадим , ему хотелось дорогой Бургундии. Пино нуар - не мой сорт винограда, но в этом случае мне понравилось. Одной бутылки не хватило - заказали вторую. Еда в ресторане была достойная, но вот с сервисом и скоростью подачи блюд были вопросы. Сомелье Алексей - красавчик, знает своё дело!

There’s a lot of depth in this burgundy. My husband and I enjoyed this bottle with friends at Kramer Winery/Vineyard in the Willamette during an evening listening to jazz. As a true burgundy should do, it had a great nose, dry but not too dry, and enhanced the flavor of the food and finished well. Perfect.
