The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Sorbets exhibits aromas of potpourri, herbs, beetroot and spicy red fruits. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and open-knit, with a charming, nicely balanced profile despite its somewhat fleeting finish.

The fleshy texture wraps around a core of pure, ripe cherry in this silky red. The vibrant acidity imparts focus and drive on the long, earth- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Shows fine balance.

The 2016 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Les Sorbets was picked on 29 September, includes 30% whole bunch and matured in 35% new oak barrels. Oddly, my first impression on the nose was a Pinot Noir from Martinborough, New Zealand! I do not mean that in a pejorative sense, just my gut reaction to the ebullient red cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannin and a fine line of acidity, quite saline toward the finish with very fine length. This is a well-crafted Morey-Saint-Denis that should age with style, a worthy follow-up to the excellent 2015.
