Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from parcels of mature vines averaging 50 to 60+ years old located across the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis (primarily Clos Solon and Porroux).
  • Planted in classic Bajocian limestone and pebbly clay-loam soils that impart Morey-Saint-Denis' quintessential harmony of floral lift, red fruit depth, and firm mineral grounding.
  • Crafted by Domaine Henri Jouan (under Philippe Jouan), renowned for low-intervention vinification, gentle extractions, and partial whole-cluster fermentations that prioritize perfume over sheer power.
  • Matured for roughly 18 months in French oak barrels with modest new wood usage (~15–20%) to soften the structure while preserving authentic village typicity.
  • From the warm, solar 2018 vintage; offers immediate, generous appeal and succulent fruit density with the structural balance to drink well through 2033+.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby with warm garnet reflections, it reveals an inviting, expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and dark plums, accented by crushed violets, dried rose petals, sous-bois, and subtle baking spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, supple, and seamless, marrying juicy red berry fruit with powdery, fine-grained tannins and well-integrated acidity, closing on a clean, savory, and chalky-mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 15–17°C in generous Burgundy balloon stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 20 to 30 minutes of aeration in the glass to allow its sweet fruit core and floral perfume to unfold; pairs wonderfully with roast duck breast, roasted pork tenderloin, grilled quail, or mild semi-firm cheeses. Optimal drinking window now through 2033+.
