Tasting notes
Healthy red-ruby. Reduced nose offers aromas of black raspberry and smoked meat. Concentrated, plush and sweet, with nicely integrated acidity framing the sappy black raspberry fruit. Finishes juicy, saline and long, with serious ripe, fine-grained tannins and very good verve.

The 2013 Morey St Denis 1er Cru les Chaffots, which Laurent explained receives a little more sunshine since it faces southwest, but also retains good levels of acidity, underwent maturation in one-third new oak. There was a touch of reduction on the nose but the palate is succulent and fleshy on the entry, the acidity nice judged and it is bridled with a sense of composure and refinement on the mineral-laden and structured finish reminiscent of Clos Saint Denis just over the road. Superb.
