Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir harvested from historic vines averaging over 60 years in "Clos Sorbè," a walled, south-facing Premier Cru situated on the mid-slope of Morey-Saint-Denis bordering Chambolle-Musigny.
  • Grown on pebbly, limestone-rich clay soils over solid Jurassic rock, delivering Clos Sorbè's trademark blend of Chambolle-like floral perfume and Morey-Saint-Denis structural stamina.
  • Crafted by Domaine Henri Jouan (under Philippe Jouan), renowned for low-intervention vinification, gentle semi-whole cluster fermentation, and minimal extraction to emphasize fragrance and clarity.
  • Aged for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels with restrained new wood (~15–20%), allowing the vintage’s deep fruit and vineyard terroir to remain transparent.
  • From the solar, highly concentrated, yet astonishingly fresh and tensile 2020 vintage; displays incredible purity and structural cut, ensuring longevity through 2040+.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with shimmering garnet reflections, it opens with an aromatic, multi-layered bouquet of wild raspberries, dark red cherries, and cranberries, interwoven with dried rose petals, crushed violets, sous-bois, and subtle baking spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, velvety, and tensile, offering concentrated red-to-dark fruit framed by powdery, cashmere-fine tannins and vivid limestone acidity, concluding on a persistent, beautifully perfumed, and chalky-mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 15–17°C in generous Burgundy balloon stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 30 to 45 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its tight floral aromatics and concentrated core to expand; pairs magnificently with roasted duck breast, rack of lamb, pan-roasted veal sweetbreads, or wild mushroom risotto. Optimal drinking window now through 2040+.
