Drouhin-Laroze Morey-Saint-Denis Tres Girard 2020

This appellation is matured in new oak barrels and barrels previously used for one wine made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. We favour light to medium-plus toasts as this ensures the perfect harmony between the wine and wood tannins.

Its colour is deep garnet with purplish glints when this appellation is young. The bouquet, with black fruit, blackcurrant, blueberry, red stone fruit and a touch of vanilla, gives way to a fleshed vinous body presenting fruity, melted tannins and a harmonious woody nose. Morey-Saint-Denis offers a pleasant style that balances body strength and the expression of the fruit.

90 Points - Vinous

The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis Très Girard is 100% whole bunch, the stems introduced two vintages earlier. They do not appear to dominate the aromatics and remain in the background. Attractive white pepper and clove scents complement the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe, quite fleshy tannins for a Morey, sorbet-like freshness towards the finish with a touch of orange rind and marmalade.
