Morey-Saint-Denis "Les Charrières" 1er cru 2023

Description

The Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru “Les Charrières” from Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig comes from a renowned climat in the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis, located on the Côte de Nuits, between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. This exceptional terroir, composed mainly of clay-limestone soils, allows Pinot Noir to express itself with precision, balance, and elegance.

The Gilbert and Christine Felettig estate cultivates its vines with particular attention to respecting living organisms and controlling yields. The grapes are harvested by hand to preserve their integrity and ensure rigorous selection at the vineyard level. The vinification process is carried out with delicacy, aiming to reveal the purity of the fruit and the typical characteristics of the Premier Cru, without excessive extraction, in order to preserve a harmonious structure.

On tasting, Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Charrières reveals a complex bouquet of black cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, enriched with subtle floral and slightly spicy notes. The palate is full-bodied and straightforward, supported by fine, elegant tannins, offering beautiful tension and remarkable length. The whole perfectly reflects the racy and deep character of the great wines of Morey-Saint-Denis.

This Premier Cru can be enjoyed after a few years of aging, while offering excellent potential for development. With time, it gains complexity, developing aromas of undergrowth and spices. An ideal cuvée for lovers of Burgundy Pinot Noir seeking finesse, character, and authenticity.
