Note di degustazione
Bright, dark red with ruby tones. A bit wilder on the nose than the Blanchards, showing a meaty element to go with its raspberry and flowers. Lower-pitched in the mouth but larger-scaled and deeper than the Blanchards; a less floral style but conveys an impression of even ripeness. The yield here was held to 30 hectoliters per hectare by some hail losses but this wine nevertheless offers a rather relaxed quality. Finishes with very good length.

The 2016 Morey St Denis 1er Cru les Ruchots, which includes 25% stem addition and 25% new oak, was more introspective on the nose, especially after the Les Blanchards. There are tightly knit black fruits laced with a Thai fish oil tang. The palate is medium-bodied with very pure black cherry and blueberry fruit suffused with blood orange notes, energetic if not deep nor immensely structured toward the poised finish. Superb, but it will need time.
