Morey Saint Denis Appellation

The Morey-Saint-Denis appellation is a French AOC that produces Burgundy wines. Exposed to the east on hillsides culminating at about 2,501 meters in altitude, the appellation known as "village appellation" includes a vineyard of 97 hectares, of which 42 hectares are dedicated to the production of Burgundy premiers crus.

Despite its size, the Morey-Saint-Denis vineyard produces 20 Burgundy premiers crus. It is also one of the communes best endowed with Burgundy grands crus, including: Bonnes-Mares, Clos de la Roche, Clos de Tart, Clos des Lambrays and Clos Saint Denis, which are located in the commune.

Morey-Saint-Denis produces mainly red wines from Pinot Noir, but also white wines from Chardonnay. The red wines have a medium aging potential, requiring 3 to 15 years before opening a bottle. The white wines, on the other hand, have a short aging potential. They are estimated to need only 2 to 4 years of cellaring.

Among the best vintages of the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation, the years 1935, the grand crus of 1943 as well as the vintages 1952 or 1971 offer excellent wines. 1961, 1976, and the 2005 vintage are exceptional vintages. Finally, the wines from 1928, 1929, 1969 vintage and 1978 are the best vintages of this appellation.
