2021 Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine Aurélien Verdet
A deeply expressive Morey Villages giving notes of violets and white pepper in a comparatively powerful pinot that is full of character. Wonderfully spicy element so typical of the commune’s wines and here one with added aromatic flourish. Quite superb.
