Product Highlights

Full Product Description

Alain Michelot Morey-Saint-Denis 2023 is an elegant French red Burgundy from the prestigious Morey-Saint-Denis appellation in the Côte de Nuits. Made from Pinot Noir, this village-level Burgundy offers a more refined and structured profile than regional Bourgogne Rouge, showing floral aromatics, fine spice, subtle oak, fresh acidity, and delicate mineral depth. Morey-Saint-Denis is located in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, a region especially known for Pinot Noir-based red wines.

The wine opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, wild berries, plum, blackberry, violet, gentle spice, earthy notes, and subtle oak. On the palate, it is elegant and balanced, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, smooth fruit, and a lightly mineral finish. Domaine Alain Michelot’s technical information describes the Morey-Saint-Denis red as showing floral, spicy, and subtle oak notes, while another technical sheet notes French oak ageing for approximately 15 to 18 months with a measured proportion of oak influence.

This is a great choice for customers looking for a serious red Burgundy with more depth and village identity, while still being elegant enough for refined food pairing. Serve it with roast duck, roast chicken, pork tenderloin, lamb, mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, beef bourguignon, charcuterie, soft cheese, and French-style dinners.
