Note di degustazione
Cask sample. Lightish cherry red. Pretty red fruit, very delicate. Delicate but with impressive length and apparently effortless concentration. Notable finesse and such fine texture. Goes on and on. (JH)

(tasted from vat; 50% destemmed; pigeage done by hand): Medium red. Slightly higher-toned aromas of raspberry, rose petal and tangy spices, with a complicating herbal note from the stems. Distinctly denser if less showy than the village wine, conveying a stronger impression of salty minerality. Firmly tannic but not hard, this rather serious premier cru (made from parcels in Clos Sorbé, La Riotte and Le Village) finishes with excellent length and salty grip. This wine will be bottled in March, along with the Clos des Lambrays.
The 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru "Les Loups" is a blend from the lieux-dits of La Riotte, Clos Sorbet and Le Village. It was matured with 50% whole bunch in one-third new oak. It has a surprisingly refined and delicate bouquet, perhaps a little outdone by the nascent fruitiness offered by the Morey Village cru. The palate is medium-bodied with the whole bunch lending a certain spiciness and freshness, sous bois notes complementing the black fruit on the finish. Very fine, very natural and understated.
