Vineyards and Microclimate

The Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru vineyards are situated on east-facing slopes in the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy.

The soil composition varies, contributing to the complexity and depth of the wines produced.

Vinification & Aging Methods

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in open vats to enhance color and tannin extraction. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with a portion being new, for approximately 12 to 15 months. This aging process imparts subtle oak influences while preserving the wine’s fruit character.
