Les Chaffots Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir



Not sure whats actually in this bottle, but it's not 2012 Morey St Denis. Has a full brick ring, we are guessing it's at least 12-15 year old burgundy of some sort... The scammer of burgundy.

On the nose hints that it might be a pinot . In the mouth hot,oaky and disjointed, very disappointed.

Clear garnet in the glass. Big nose of black cherry tea and rooibos with a bit or rubber overlaid. Medium minus tannins and medium plus acidity lead a palate that is fruit forward -- black cherry, black tea, dried flowers -- by Old World standards, but by no means New World in style. Naturally, food is its friend. I had roasted duck breast. Another top notch effort by Ray Walker.

Charming nose of red berries and black tea that evolves into some celery root after some time.

Decent burg, some barnyard, cherry, distinct tears and broken dreams, with a whiff of BMW parts and undelivered promises.

Dec 14th, 2017I was going to wait to open this but the negative commentary thread on the wine berserkers forum lead me to open this bottle. The wine was excellent it was well balanced: freshness fruit and acidity. Most of the negative comments are from individuals not receiving their wines in a timely manner but the negativity seems have found its way into the reviews. Based on my experience with this particular wine the quality is high. I hope Ray Walker solves his distribution problems (as it this writing his website was not operational).
