Alain Michelot Morey Saint Denis 2021
Vintage Character
Alain Michelot Morey Saint Denis 2021 comes from the Village Morey Saint Denis designation in Bourgogne. Spring frost and unsettled weather tested the vines, while rain from late June into early August increased disease pressure. Dry conditions and a north wind from mid-August then aided ripening; Pinot Noir generally preceded Chardonnay at harvest. Smaller crops and a return to more typical September picking dates distinguish this cooler year from the warmer seasons around it. For Pinot Noir from Morey Saint Denis, the season puts acidity and tannin texture in dialogue with red-fruit ripeness. In the Morey Saint Denis appellation bottling, expect supple fruit and easy movement.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Violet lifts the cherry-and-raspberry core, with a quiet earthy note behind the fruit. On the palate it is dry and medium in body, with fine, medium tannin and medium-high acidity giving the Morey Saint Denis fruit a fresh frame. The finish is clean and moderately long, with forest floor and dried flowers adding depth as the wine ages. Try it with roast quail and wild mushrooms, or glazed duck with mild spices; the fine tannin and medium-high acidity suit these dishes without overpowering them.
Winery Background
Domaine Alain Michelot has been developed by four generations since 1880 and farms about 8 hectares in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis and Clos de Vougeot. Quality and authenticity are the domaine's stated aims. Élodie Michelot, Alain's daughter, now runs winemaking, and the wines are raised in French oak barrels for roughly 15 to 18 months depending on the cuvée. Here, the Morey Saint Denis village bottling shows that family approach in its own appellation.
