Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Morey Saint-Denis 1er Cru Aux Charmes has a very attractive bouquet with impressive purity and delineation as it unfolds, offering wild strawberry, red plum and subtle undergrowth and sanguineous aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, edgy in style and tensile, fanning out nicely with sappy red fruit that persists in the mouth. This is a classy premier cru with the density to age. Tasted September 2016.
