Bottled. Mid to light crimson. A little more stemmy on the nose than the village wine but in a good way, adding another layer. A little more complex than the village wine and a little longer. Already delicious with its combination of red fruit, hint of floral scent on the palate, and super-fine tannins. True to type. (JH)
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Charmes 1er Cru has a perfumed, floral bouquet, a mixture of black and blue fruit and a splash of iodine. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, smooth but not complex, its fleshiness rendering it more Chambolle in style than Morey-Saint-Denis. It just needs more backbone on the finish.
About the producer
Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot may not carry the cachet of the very top domaines in the village, but it does offer some of the best value, producing wines with great terroir transparency in their top Premiers and Grands Crus, and fabulous village wines.
