Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Morey Saint Denis, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Producer: Domaine Alain Michelot — a benchmark estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges since 1963

Tasting Notes: Morey Saint Denis sits between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, combining the power of the former with the elegance of the latter. This village-level Pinot Noir opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, violet and a hint of earthy undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity and a long, mineral finish. Classic Côte de Nuits character at an accessible village level.

Food Pairing: Duck breast, mushroom risotto, roasted chicken, soft-ripened cheeses, charcuterie.
