The 2014 Morey St Denis 1er Cru had been bottled one month previously and constitutes six barrels this year, as the young vines that once formed this cru are now elevated into the Grand Cru. It includes 50% whole bunch fruit. Here there is an equal mixture of red and black fruit that is very pure and perfumed, red cherries and crushed strawberry, nicely defined as usual. The palate is medium-bodied with angular tannin, quite pointed acidity and harmonious, but perhaps just missing the harmony of the Village Cru on the finish? There is just a nagging bitter note on the back palate at the moment. 86-88 points
