Dark Cherries, Dried Roses, Cashmere Tannins, and Old-Vine Morey Concentration

The 2019 Domaine Henri Jouan Morey-Saint-Denis "Vieilles Vignes" is a seductive, deeply pure red Burgundy sourced from parcels of 50 to 60+ year-old vines. It opens with vibrant aromas of dark cherries, wild raspberries, dried rose petals, and subtle sous-bois. Medium-bodied and concentrated, it delivers succulent red-to-dark fruit framed by powdery, cashmere-like tannins and lively limestone freshness, finishing long, perfumed, and mineral-driven.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir harvested from mature parcels averaging 50 to 60+ years of age situated within the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis (primarily Clos Solon and Porroux).
  • Planted on classic Bajocian limestone and pebbly clay soils that give Morey-Saint-Denis its signature combination of floral elegance, juicy red fruit, and firm mineral spine.
  • Crafted by Domaine Henri Jouan (under Philippe Jouan), an artisanal family estate renowned for gentle extraction, partial whole-cluster vinification, and low-intervention cellar practices.
  • Matured for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels with minimal new oak (~15–20%) to preserve pure aromatic definition and authentic village typicity.
  • From the stellar 2019 Burgundy vintage; combines dense, generous fruit core with exceptional tension and freshness, built to drink beautifully through 2036+.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby with vivid magenta-garnet reflections, it reveals an expressive bouquet of ripe dark cherries, wild raspberries, and spiced plums, interwoven with dried rose petals, crushed violets, sous-bois, and a hint of warm baking spices. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, velvety, and linear, offering a concentrated core of red and black fruit framed by powdery, cashmere tannins and crisp limestone acidity, concluding on a persistent, savory, and chalky-mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 15–17°C in generous Burgundy balloon stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 25 to 30 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its tight floral aromatics and concentrated fruit to unfurl; pairs excellently with roast duck breast, roasted squab, pork tenderloin with mushroom glaze, or mild semi-firm cheeses. Optimal drinking window now through 2036+.
