The 2016 Morey St Denis en la Rue de Vergy has a lucid ruby color. The bouquet is well defined with pure dark cherries, cranberry and bay leaf scents, a subtle woodland note tucked just behind. The palate is medium-bodied with a confit-like entry, brisk and energetic with hints of blood orange and marmalade complementing the red fruit, leading to a crunchy finish that is a joy. This is on par with the 2015 and may even surpass it with bottle age.
