Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes

Red and purple berry, pine needle, stems, pomegranate, and unripe plum. A little tight at first, but this opens up nicely with some swirling in the glass. Still, I'd give this a few more years to…

Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de La Bussière

Obviously too young, but with a fun kick of red raspberry and candied black and red cherry flavors to compliment some interesting orange peel and spice notes. Primary indeed, but already decent depth…

Domaine Taupenot-Merme Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte

Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de La Bussière

Core red raspberry and strawberry cream notes, with light black cherry and fleeting, faint hints of mulch and spice. Feminine on the attack, but a mid-palate that was still fairly solid.
