Sourced from one of Morey-Saint-Denis’ finest Premier Cru sites, Les Faconnières, this wine beautifully encapsulates the depth and elegance of the appellation. Located just below Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, the vineyard benefits from deep limestone-clay soils, which contribute to both structure and finesse.
On the nose, the wine offers a dark-fruited, complex bouquet, with notes of black cherries, ripe plums, and wild blackberries, interwoven with hints of violets, forest floor, and a delicate smokiness. Subtle touches of sweet spice, crushed rocks, and a whisper of oak add further intrigue.
The palate is concentrated yet refined, with a firm backbone of silky but persistent tannins. Juicy black and red fruit flavors are complemented by an underlying earthy minerality and a lift of fresh acidity, ensuring balance and aging potential. The long, elegant finish leaves impressions of dark berries, spice, and subtle savory undertones.
Drinking beautifully now!
