MOREY SAINT DENIS 'Petites Noix' 1er Cru Domaine Stéphane Magnien 2019
This is a blend of two little vineyards, Gruenchers and Clos Baulet. This is the one cuvée where Stéphane allows a small proportion of whole bunch, (10%) to counter the clay soil. It is amazing though to see such a clear effect from the inclusion of so small a percentage, really changing the profile, bringing a fresher red fruit, and a very long finish with a tiny bitterness. So different in style to the sturdy Faconnieres! Tasted: November 2020 4/5 stars
POMMARD 1er Cru Charmots Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot 2017
More subtle but not invisible wood frames the fresh, airy and distinctly cool aromas of violet, dark raspberry and a hint of forest floor. The bright, intense and energetic middle weight flavors once again terminate in a lingering if mildly dry finish that is again difficult to predict whether it will successfully age out. My projected range does offer the benefit of the doubt but know that the dryness dissipating is not a certainty.
