Morey Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée du pape Jean Paul II et Georges Bryczek (no reserve) 1985

The wine

Situated in the central area of the Côte de Nuits, the vineyards grow in well-drained clay-limestone soil. This appellation covers the grands crus such as Clos St-Denis, Clos de Tart, Clos de la Roche and Clos des Lambrays. Morey wines have the mellowness and finesse of the Chambolles and the strength and structure of the Gevrey-Chambertins. Its wines are quite colourful, with rich aromas of red and dark fruit (wild cherries and blackcurrant). After a long ageing, its aromas become enriched with tones of wood, spices or game.
