Domaine Michel Magnien Morey St Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7203
The favors are rich, full and sweet in the mouth with ample volume and real punch to the sappy, delicious and beautifully mineral-infused finish. This is a really pretty effort built more along the lines of finesse than power but it makes a statement anyway. Allen Meadows - Burghound Outstanding! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Michel Magnien Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7003
This is slightly more elegant with strikingly pretty and pungent red and black cherry, spice and warm stone notes that have that subtle saline character to them that merge into full, ripe and textured flavors possessing good detail and excellent precision, all wrapped in an admirably persistent finish. I particularly like the mid-palate concentration as it renders the structure almost invisible at present though I suspect this will firm up quickly once in bottle. Outstanding! Allen Meadows- Burghound
Domaine Herve Arlaud Morey St Denis 1er Cru Aux Cheseaux
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6957
A completely different aromatic profile presents itself here with a gamy and smoky mix of earthy red, blue and violet-infused top notes that lead to sweet, rich, intense and mouth coating flavors that possess notably better freshness and exceptional vibrancy on the penetrating and persistent finish. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Nicolas Potel Clos St Denis Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8283
very ripe yet beautifully fresh nose offers up elegant aromas of dark berry fruit trimmed in a bit of discreet wood spice leads to mouth coating and exceptionally rich flavors that drench the palate with buckets of dry extract on the textured and velvety finish. This is a relatively big Clos St. Denis that delivers outstanding length on the powerful and very firmly structured finale. Recommended. Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Hubert Lignier Morey St Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7838
Noticeable if not dominant wood spice frames an earthy mix of both red and black berry fruit aromas complements the rich, full and generous mouth coating flavors that offer excellent intensity, all wrapped in a finish that sports completely buried tannins and fine length. Good juice and excellent potential. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Nicolas Potel Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6631
A flat out gorgeous nose features violets, red pinot fruit and black berry notes trimmed in a deft touch of wood that gives way to rich, full and sweet flavors that possess unusually good detail, all wrapped in a powerful, deep and exceptionally long finish. This is also impeccably well balanced and should improve for at least a decade. Don't Miss! Allen Meadows - Burghound
Domaine Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - MOREY-SAINT-DENIS
Size750MLVintage2005SKU7836
And speaking of typical, as usual this is the best wine in the range with a simply gorgeous range of seductive if serious aromas that include both red and blue pinot fruit, spice notes, game and underbrush hints that continue onto the classy, pure and wonderfully deep and palate-staining flavors oozing with ripe extract that completely buffer the firm but ripe tannins. This is also built to age and should reward amply 12 to 15 years of patience. A stunner of a wine. Don't Miss! Allen Meadows-Burghound
