radiant clarity

pure and layered red pinot fruit

(from vines situated in the very best part of En l’Ormeau that average 50 years of age)

Gerard Raphet, Morey Saint Denis Rouge Size:12x750ml Juicy and vinousThe cool and airy nose is earthier still with its array of red and blue pinot fruit where a touch of crushed fennel lurks in the background. There is fine volume to the appealingly textured middleweight flavors thanks mainly to the relatively fine grained tannins that also shape the moderately firm and more complex finale that is just a bit firmer. This is a good Morey villages that should repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.
