• Winemaker's notes:Morey St-Denis En la rue de Vergy, 0,51 ha Located just above the les Bonnes-Mares, this plot presents a remarkable pedology: the soil is non-existent. The vines are planted directly on the calcareous bedrock and do very well there; they manage to find crevices between the stones and the rock strata to deeply plunge the roots in search of water and nutrients. A part, 0,64 ha - 1.58 acres, was planted in pinot noir in 1980 and the rest of the plot, 0,51 ha - 1.26 acres, planted in 1981 with chardonnay. Our white Morey St-Denis is one of the rare white wines of the Côte de Nuits, and the soil lends itself to it remarkably. It is a scented wine and with a strong mineral character. Acidity is always good and the wine, pleasant in its youth, ages very well.

Burgandy wines have a great tradition in producing the best Chardonnay in the world. Excellent value.
