FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which estates are most represented in this selection of Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru?

Lignier-Michelot and Arlaud are the most represented, with 14 and 13 wines respectively. Next come Ponsot with 8 wines, Marchand-Tawse with 7, and Odoul Coquard with 6: these estates offer several ways to explore the category.

How are the vintages of Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru distributed in the selection?

The 2021 and 2022 vintages dominate, with 40 and 37 wines, followed by 2023 with 23. The 2020 vintage has 12, while 2017 and 2019 each have just one. So, for a tasting focused on a single year, 2021 and 2022 offer the widest choice.

Which wines let you compare two estates and two vintages in Morey-Saint-Denis?

Arlaud’s Aux Cheseaux and Lignier-Michelot’s Les Faconnières are both available in 2021 and 2022, in 75 cl bottles. Bringing these four wines together lets you compare the two vintages for each wine, and then the two wines for each vintage. However, since the estate and vineyard site change at the same time, this tasting does not allow you to isolate the producer’s influence.

Pinot Noir dominates the listed grape varieties, with 99 wines, compared with 3 for Aligoté and 2 for Chardonnay. The selection includes 108 red wines and 6 white wines in total. Grape varieties are therefore not listed for all 114 wines.

Lécheneaut’s Les Charrières and David Duband’s Clos Sorbé are two other options, both available in the 2022 vintage and in 75 cl bottles. To explore the 2023 vintage, the selection also includes Christophe Bryczek’s “Cuvée du Pape Jean-Paul II”.
