2019 Amiot Servelle Morey Saint Denis villages

From the Clos Solon and les Bras lieux dits, roughly 250 cases from .46 hectares. From richer soils of intensely red clay, silt, and a moderate amount of limestone. This comes across as an archetypal Morey of fuller, darker fruit with a light mineral vein, a bit of savory, and a suavity of texture that finds nothing out of place. In purity and sappiness, a pleasure.

“(mostly from Clos Solon with a small amount of Les Brâs; one-third whole clusters). A deft application of wood is present on the ripe aromas of mostly plum and black cherry with a floral top note. The delicious middle weight flavors also exude a refreshing salinity on the lingering finish where a similar mildly rustic quality emerges. (87-89)/2024+” Allan Meadows
