2020 Morey St Denis 1er Cru La Forge de Tart

The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Forge de Tart wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, red cherries, wild berries, exotic spices and peonies, framed by a discreet touch of oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and velvety, it's vibrant and concentrated, with powdery tannins and a more serious, reserved profile than the domaine's Morey-Saint-Denis.

The 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis La Forge de Tart 1er Cru has quite a high-toned and overtly floral bouquet, the 20% whole bunch neatly disguised. There is a touch of mint that emerges with time. The palate is very harmonious, silky smooth tannins, the 50% new oak seamlessly integrated. This is a clear level up from the Village Cru and feels caressing and sensual towards the finish. Excellent, but it deserves 5-7 years in bottle.
