MOREY-SAINT-DENIS

The appellation forms a bridge, between the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin and those of Chambolle-Musigny. The history of this
wine-growing village has in the past been heavily influenced by the powerful religious house of Vergy, the abbeys of Cîteaux and
Tart, and by some of the great Burgundian families. Of its wine, Dr. Lavalle wrote in 1855, “it can be said that it lacks nothing”.
The AOC status was instituted in 1936. While rich in Premiers Crus with 20, Morey-Saint-Denis also boasts 5 Grands Crus
(Clos de Tart, Bonnes Mares, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos des Lambrays).
