Morey-Saint-Denis – the vineyard articles

The Grand Crus of Morey-Saint-Denis

Morey-Saint-Denis have four Grand Crus and these are very dominant in the appellation – leaving only little room for prominent 1er crus.

Clos de la Roche

  • Terroir View: Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche – a new cuvée Domaine Hubert Lignier was one of first estates I visited when I began my quest to understand Burgundy. This was back in the late 1990s when Romain Lignier was making truly magnificent wines at Domaine Hubert Lignier. Sadly Romain passed away in an untimely fashion in 2004 and, while the years after this were somewhat turbulent, ...
  • Clos de la Roche – the core of Morey-Saint-Denis I have so far neglected the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation in my vineyard research .. but now its time to take on the wolves.

Clos de Tart

  • Clos de Tart – the Tête de Cuvée of Morey On my way though the grand crus of Morey-Saint-Denis I have reached the perhaps most prominent and daunting task – Clos de Tart. Prominent because it’s a rather legendary monopole that Lavalle rated Tête de Cuvée as the only vineyard in Morey_Saint-Denis – daunting due to the fact that the master of Burgundy maps – ...

    Clos des Lambrays

    • Clos des Lambrays – Monopole or not? – update The Domaine des Lambrays have recently been sold to LVMH – and the deal included some very fine vineyards – with the jewel in the crown being the 8.84 ha Clos des Lambrays. This deal is very important for the development in Burgundy as it announces a new big player on the Burgundy scene – LVMH ...
