Visual Aspect: Sparkling, with ruby reflections. Nose: Prominent fruity notes, particularly cherry. Palate: Very silky and well-rounded, with an emphasis on refined tannins. Location: The Santenay vineyard area covers 936 acres (6 x 75 cl)
The literal translation of this vineyard's name, "Beau Regard", describes its magnificent view overlooking the valley below and this well made wine does not disappoint. 100% Pinot Noir it is a bright coloured wine tinged with ruby. The nose is showing very pronounced notes of fruit, especially cherry while in the mouth the gorgeous fruit with firm tannins provide support through to the long finish. (6 x 75 cl)
This wine is aged in the cask for sixteen to eighteen months, using a fairly low proportion of new casks finally being bottled with a very light filtration. 100% Pinot Noir it is displaying a fine dark colour with ruby reflections. The aromas of spices and cherries develop on the palate of this a silky structured red wine finishing with a mellow woodiness. Morey-Saint-Denis, nestling in its enclave between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, produces no fewer than five Grands Crus. Forming the northern boundary of the commune, 'Clos de la Roche' takes its name from a rock used by the Celts for their rites. Adjoining 'Latricieres-Chambertin', Clos de la Roche produces Morey's most robust wines. The soil here is so pebbly and hard to work that it used to exhaust even the toughest growers. These hard brown pieces of limestone make for a very firm wine, but one with the best possible ageing potential. Today, 'Clos de la Roche' covers some 16 hectares. (6 x 75 cl)
Jean-Claude Boisset 1er Cru MONTS LUISANTS Morey-St-Denis from France, Burgundy, Morey-St-Denis by Jean-Claude Boisset Nuits St Georges Powerful Reds (6 x 75 cl)
This wine is produced from selected old Pinot Noir vines with highly precise characteristics. During the growing season, restricted yields are produced through drastic debudding and cluster thinning if necessary; while the soil has little or no fertiliser, and vine protection techniques are adopted that are friendly to the environment and other plant life. This has produced a dark, sparkling ruby coloured wine with a very expressive nose showing blackcurrant and dark berries. In the mouth it is solid and intense, with structure against a very clean, fruity background. (6 x 75 cl)
