  • Goedhuis, December 2022

    The name is said to derive from the Sorb apple which may have been planted here many centuries ago. There is a high proportion of chalk in the soil which François credits to giving the wines from this vineyard their vitality and energy. This was a star performer tasting from cask, combining wild fruits of the forest with some spice of oak. Delicious volume, almost glycerol-like, and a full feeling of broad texture, with some drier tannic sensations. Great length and huge potential.

  • Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 91-93

    Due to be bottled in January, the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Sorbé 1er Cru is more backward than the Millandes at the moment, tightly-coiled red berry fruit, orange rind and a light steely note. The palate is medium-bodied with fine but firm tannins, quintessential Morey-Saint-Denis with conspicuous backbone, judiciously spiced towards the finish. Bold but not overpowering, this is a nicely crafted Clos Sorbé. Drink 2025-2040.

Domaine Legros spans 6.5 hectares, covering appellations in Nuits St Georges, Chambolle Musigny and Morey St Denis. It is the epitome of a family holding: winemaker François took on the vineyards from his parents and uncle at the end of the 1980s, and in 1999 he acquired yet more vines from his father-in-law.

Domaine Legros spans 6.5 hectares, covering appellations in Nuits St Georges, Chambolle Musigny and Morey St Denis. It is the epitome of a family holding: winemaker François took on the vineyards from his parents and uncle at the end of the 1980s, and in 1999 he acquired yet more vines from his father-in-law. The latest chapter now sees François joined by his two daughters, Charlotte, a graduate of the Lycée Viticole de Beaune, who manages the vineyard, and Laure, who looks after the commercial side of the business. This estate is clearly going places. It sees a proud, happy father guiding the dynamic, talented and ambitious next generation, with impressive results.Read less

Region

Morey Saint Denis

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.
