Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru: Frédéric Magnien 'Les Ruchots' 2019

One of twenty Premier Crus in Morey-Saint-Denis, Frédéric Magnien\'s excellent organic Pinot Noir from \'Les Ruchots\' shows ripe blackberry and spice notes on the nose and features a succulent, seductive core. Pinot Noirs from Morey-Saint-Denis tend to have a little more structure than Chambolle-Musigny and are a little more supple than those from Gevrey-Chambertin. Clive Coates MW suggests that "...there is a frank, lush fruitiness about a good Morey which makes it very appealing."From organically-certified vines planted on the southern edge of the village, the 2.58ha of \'Les Ruchots\' (meaning \'rocky\' or \'rocks\') is sited underneath the Grand Crus of \'Clos du Tart\' and \'Bonnes-Mares\' on iron-rich, limestone-clay soils, contains some white marl over splintered bedrock giving good drainage.Meaty and robust with a lovely core of dark fruit, this fullish-bodied Pinot Noir would be ideal with small game or roast lamb or mutton leg.
