Description
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. Quite “correct” and linear, yet with admirable precision toward the finish. This is a finely crafted Morey Premier Cru from Jadot.Strong menthol and wood all but mask the underlying fruit of various red berries and an attractive floral element. The generous, round and quite supple middle weight flavors possess an attractive texture before concluding in a rich and acceptably complex and persistent finale. This is pretty enough but not especially deep though more complexity may well develop in time.
