Morey-Saint-Denis

Morey is sometimes ignored between its two famous neighbours, Chambolle Musigny and Gevrey Chambertin, but its wines are of equal class, combining elegance and structure. Morey St Denis, being that little bit less famous, can often provide excellent value.

The four main grand cru vineyards continue in a line from those of Gevrey Chambertin, with Clos St Denis and Clos de la Roche the most widely available. Clos des Lambrays (almost) and Clos de Tart (entirely) are monopolies of the domains which bear the same names.

Domaines Dujac and Ponsot also make rare white wines in Morey St Denis.
