Morey Saint Denis Millandes Heresztyn 2020, fine burgundy, 65 year old vines, 1800 bottles produced, ripe, full and with immense ageing potential. I liked the description of a friend here far better than anything I could come up with so here it is…..it certainly made my mouth water on this cold January evening…. The Morey-Saint-Denis 1er cru Les Millandes is one of the best we have tasted. From 65-year-old vines and low yields (37hl/ha) this vivid ruby, red wine has a stunning bouquet of myrtle, blackberries, sloes and bramble not to mention floral notes of violets and jasmine, a sustained palate with exquisite finesse and length. One to age and to drink with guinea fowl with cabbage, rabbit in mustard sauce and cheese (Epoisses, Munster, Livarot etc.) Delicious!!!! Is Vegan?
