2019 Olivier Guyot Morey Saint Denis Premier Cru Les Sorbets

Morey-Saint-Denis, being the smallest appellations of Cote-de-Nuits, is made up of 20 Premier Cru climats and 5 Grand Cru climats. Yearly production of only 1,500 bottles, I can assure you production is so miniscule, it’ll surely jack up the already very expensive burgundy prices. The wine is aged 14 to 18 months in French oak barrels. Knowing 2019 as a great vintage, I did not hesitate to decant it for 2 hours. Bouquet of very strong earthy notes, along with ripe cherry and leather. The interesting portion is the content; this wine is strong and powerful, yet not in a male chauvinistic way, rather in a superiority of woman style; The softness and finesse are stunning, in addition, it retained all the powerful character of a Morey-Saint-Denis styled wine. This wine is really meant to be kept for at least two decades to enjoy. I make a bold prediction; this wine will drink really stunningly in 40 years.
