Morey St Denis is an epicenter. With five Grand Cru and twenty 1er Cru parcels, this is some of the prime real estate in Burgundy. There is hardly an iffy vineyard in the village. And these are some of the most refined wines of the Cotes de Nuits. This village AOC from Domaine Jean Fery has black fruits that impose themselves, sweet and round, in a structure that is typical Morey minerality, with a freshness bred of fine tannins and good balance.
WINEMAKER
Domaine Jean Fery
Nestled in the Hautes Cotes village of Echevronne, the Domaine Jean Fery is the master plan of Jean-Louis Fery, the latest in a wine line dating back to the mid-1800s. From 1994, with the help of Alain Meunier of the Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron, the Domaine Jean Fery went bio (without actually claiming the certification) and started expanding their vineyard holdings. From the 2006 harvest, Pascal Marchand took the reins, continuing the domain's quest for quality and integrity.

Vineyard
Site: the village of Morey is located between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. There are five Grand Crus and twelve Premier Crus in this relatively small appellation.
History & tradition: in the shadow of its illustrious neighbours (Gevrey and Chambolle), Morey-Saint-Denis did not become a separate appellation until 1935 ("Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" laws).
Soil: a mix of chalky marl with broken-up white stones from the limestone underlayer.
