2023 Sylvain Morey, Santenay Rouge, 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau

Domaine Sylvain Morey operates in the village of Santenay, where the estate draws on a family winemaking history in the Côte de Beaune that spans generations. This 1er Cru selection is made from Pinot Noir planted in 1993, with vines rooted in the site's signature clay-limestone soils. The wine presents a clear, defined profile of red cherry, wild strawberry, and savory earthy notes, balanced by a structured texture and firm, refined tannins. The 2023 vintage offered an abundant harvest, yielding a wine with consistent character and fresh, vibrant fruit. Its current balance makes it a reliable choice for the table, though it possesses the substance to evolve further with a few years in the cellar.
