Morey St Denis Vieilles Vignes 2018 - Alain Jeanniard
Its most usual color is full, with an assertive tone (bright ruby, carmine, intense garnet) with purple reflections. The bouquet is divided between black fruits and red stone fruits (cherry). It includes variants: sloe, bramble, violet, carnation, liquorice, fruits in brandy. With age, it often evokes the hunting party (leather, moss, game): it truffles! Sustained, structured, this wine is waiting for you on the palate : the right balance between the strength of the body and the expression of the fruit. Tenor voice in the Burgundian course, it knows how to round its tannins and offer a generous flesh.
Tasting : With a very nice purple color, intense and limpid, this wine exalts aromas of small red fruits such as raspberry, cherry. Its structure in mouth is melted and velvety, of a good harmony and very persistent. The raspberry is again found at the end of the mouth.
