Morey-Saint-Denis is known for wines with more depth and concentration than many villages in the immediate vicinity, but with tannins that often feel less stringent than in Gevrey-Chambertin. This 2016 combines 30-year-old vines, manual harvesting, and 10–12 months of aging in French oak to create a Burgundy with forest floor, raspberry, blackcurrant, mocha, and silky tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"578\" data-end=\"601\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"603\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eMorey-Saint-Denis is located in the Côte de Nuits, the northern part of the Côte d’Or where Pinot Noir plays the leading role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"954\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"747\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morey-Saint-Denis is located directly south of Gevrey-Chambertin.

The house is still independent and owned by the founding family, with a strong focus on terroir, traditional vinification, and its own craftsmanship. Its own cooperage plays an important role in this, as Louis Latour makes its own French oak barrels and adapts them to the style of the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45177285541967,"sku":"3439","price":57.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/LouisLatourMorey-Saint-Denis2016.webp?v=1778230105","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/products\/louis-latour-morey-saint-denis-2016","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
