Description: An estate founded by a former Polish vineyard worker of Louis Trapet. Domaine Heresztyn has been one of the consistently fine producers in Gevrey Chambertin. However, as Florence Heresztyn increasingly takes the reins, they have clearly reached another level of quality.

Clos Saint-Denis is situated in Morey-Saint-Denis between Clos de la Roche and Clos des Lambrays. The vineyard is planted on Liassic and Triassic limestone, a terrain that allows the roots of the vines to delve deep for mineral nourishment.

Heresztyn's wine is delightful; the subtle weaving of fragrances (black fruits, gingerbread, prunes, musk) hints at a grand cru with nuance rather than sheer power, a point reinforced by the tender fruity palate, aromatic, pretty, oozing finesse. The tannins, nevertheless, remind you that this is a true vin de garde.

Jean-Claude Boisset Grand Cru CLOS DE LA ROCHE Morey-St-Denis
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)
