Tasting notes
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village from Dujac has a bright red cherry and wild strawberry-scented bouquet, quite Gevrey-like, vigorous and punching above its station in terms of complexity. The palate is structured like all good Morey should be, fine tannins, and though one can detect the whole bunches, they are the guiding hand, neatly enmeshed with the fruit. What a joyful wine. Served blind at Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion.

The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village is showing beautifully in bottle, bursting with aromas of wild berries, plums, cinnamon and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and elegant, with succulent acids, powdery tannins and a pretty core of expressive fruit.
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village, which had not been racked, has a lifted black plum and red currant bouquet with just a touch of hoisin . The palate is medium-bodied with a strict, linear opening and a fine bead of acidity, but it feels clammed shut toward the finish at the moment. Give it a couple of years once in bottle.
