2021 Domaine Odoul-Coquard Morey-Saint-Denis "Aux Chéseaux", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Sourced from the “Aux Cheseaux” vineyard, situated at elevations between 220 and 270 meters with east-facing exposures, this wine benefits from chalky limestone soils that impart elegance and minerality. The 2021 vintage underwent 15 months of maturation in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new, enhancing its complexity without overshadowing the fruit. On the nose, it presents aromas of wild raspberries, red currants, and floral notes, complemented by hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. The palate is medium-bodied, featuring soft and spicy tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, refined finish. This wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as roast duck, veal, or mushroom-based cuisine.
