Tasting notes
The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Solon has a punchy, vivacious bouquet with kirsch, orange zest and a punnet of freshly picked strawberries, all well defined and showing more vigor than the Chambolle-Musigny Villages at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a little grainy in texture with red plum and strawberry notes towards the finish, a dash of brown spice on the aftertaste. Fine, but probably a more early-drinking wine than something I would lay down.

From a parcel in the middle of the Clos. Just racked into tank prior to tasting. Interesting green savour on the nose. Then richness on the palate but proper burgundy. Racy finish. Very appetising and long. Quite big boned. (JR)
Bright dark red. Very fresh aromas of blueberry and menthol plus a hint of game. Concentrated and seamless, with its crushed purple fruit flavors complicated by a suggestion of fresh blood. Offers a lovely combination of thickness and acidity and finishes with a firm tannic spine. This cool site did very well in 2015.
