From Domaine Dujac in France’s Morey-Saint-Denis, the Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 2022 is a refined 100% Pinot Noir sourced from a blend of less than 70% Ruchots with the balance from Clos Sorbé, Millandes, and Charrières totaling 0.79 hectares on clay-limestone soils that impart fine balance and depth. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—characterized by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet vibrant fruit—undergo whole-cluster fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12-18 months' aging in French oak barrels (20-30% new) to enhance texture and purity. As a family estate founded in 1968 by Maurice Dujac, emphasizing sustainable practices, this production yields a glowing purple wine with vibrant intensity and poised elegance.
Tasting Notes A medium- to full-bodied Morey-Saint-Denis with supple charm, velvety entry, and a rich core of dark plum and cherry fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids, showing baking spices and orange zest in a vibrant, harmonious style. The nose reveals dark plums, cherries, baking spices, and hints of orange zest. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and harmonious, with fine tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of vibrant red berries, earth, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long, graceful finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru earned 92-94 points from Wine Advocate for its supple charm and rich core of fruit, 91-93 from Burghound for its size, weight, and power with sappy dry extract, and 92-93 from Vinous for its well-defined bouquet and taut, harmonious palate.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 14-16°C with 30-45 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, or charcuterie. Enjoy now through 2035, developing greater earthy and silky nuances over time.
