Goedhuis, December 2022
A prized Premier Cru within Morey St Denis sitting beneath Clos St Denis on the Route des Grands Crus. A richly intense style, focusing more on dark fruits, cassis and blueberry. The opening succulence shows off a hedonistic pleasure, ahead of the layered terroir driven structure. Alive, fresh and fine length at the end.

Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 92-94
The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes 1er Cru is very composed and well defined on the nose: wild strawberry, raspberry and crushed minerals unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, with sappy red fruit infused with blood orange, fine acidity, fanning out wonderfully with an energetic finish. Bon vin! Drink 2025-2042.

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.
