Morey Saint Denis "En la rue de Vergy" 2021 Domaine Bruno Clair
The Morey Saint Denis "En la rue de Vergy" from Domaine Bruno Clair is a prestigious wine that perfectly embodies the distinctive character of Pinot Noir. The vines, planted in 1980, span an area of 0.5416 hectares and thrive on a unique terroir. The limestone soil, enriched with Premeaux limestone and white oolite subsoil, provides an excellent mineral foundation for the vines. The southeast orientation of the vineyards, situated at an average altitude of 320 meters, allows the grapes to benefit from perfect sun exposure, promoting optimal ripening.
The vinification of Morey Saint Denis "En la rue de Vergy" involves the use of 10-20% whole bunches, with maceration ranging from 10 to 15 days in wooden vats. This traditional process helps to develop the wine's structure and complexity. The subsequent maturation occurs over 18-20 months in oak barrels, with approximately 30% new barrels, adding depth and finesse to the aromatic profile.
Upon organoleptic analysis, the wine presents a bright ruby red color. The nose offers a rich and complex bouquet of red and black fruits, including prominent notes of cherry, blackberry, and currant, enriched with delicate spicy and toasted nuances from the oak aging. On the palate, Morey Saint Denis "En la rue de Vergy" reveals itself as a powerful and complex wine, with a well-defined tannic structure and a pleasant freshness. The aromatic persistence and depth of flavors make it an ideal accompaniment to red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
