Joseph Drouhin, Morey-Saint-Denis (Burgundy, France) 2009

Sep 27, 2011

By Gerald D. Boyd

 Sourced from vineyards around the village of Morey, between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, this aromatic wine shows all the great character of a Cote de Nuits Pinot Noir.  Aged for 16 months in small Burgundian barrels, it has a medium-deep ruby color, black cherry and mint aromatics with a hint of leather,  deeply structured flavors, impressions of spicy hard candy, subtle tannins, 13% alcohol and good length across a long complex finish.
