The 2019 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos des Ormes Premier Cru is nicely composed on the nose, featuring blackberry, sous-bois and light cedar aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and quite gentle in the mouth, with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a pleasant saline/briny note that attracts you back for another sip. One of the most elegant Morey Premier Crus this year.
Laced with notes of warm earth and a hint of spice.
The aromas of blood oranges, pomegranates and red cherries are very pure. This has a riper edge to the palate and is already very open. Long finish with red cherries and anise.
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos des Ormes 1er Cru has a pure, quite generous, almost Chambolle-like bouquet of ample red cherries, raspberry coulis and subtle vanilla aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit and a fine bead of acidity. Admirable precision toward the finish. This is a finely crafted Morey Premier Cru from Jadot.
The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos des Ormes (Maison Louis Jadot) was showing very well, bursting with aromas of sweet berry fruit, candied peel, baking chocolate and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and lavish, with juicy acids, fine but chalky structuring tannins and a long finish.
