Neal Martin, November 2022, Score: 93
The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru has initially a rather simple nose, opening up with dark cherries, undergrowth, almost peat-like aromas. Fine delineation. The palate is well-balanced with sappy black fruit framed by finely-chiselled tannins. Stocky yet fresh, fine structure, this is a little "aloof" at the moment, but it should blossom with 3-4 years in bottle. Excellent. Drink 2025 - 2045. 93 points. Neal Martin

Morey St. Dénis often suffers from an identity crisis. They are more fruit forward than the wines of Gevrey Chambertin, yet more structured than those of Chambolle Musigny. It seems in this sensethat they are like middle children, always wanting to please yet not standing out as the noisy one or the notably quiet one. They are however crowd pleasers and for those who feel that Gevreys are too muscular and Chambolles too feminine; Moreys seem just right, offering velvety tannins and tangible fruit. The village offers five grand cru vineyards including Clos de la Roche, Clos St. Dénis and Clos des Lambrays which nonetheless can rival those of neighbouring villages in terms of quality (some even view them as the best in the Côte de Nuits) and various premier cru vineyards.
