Amiot Morey-Saint-Denis 2024

2024 may have been a growing season to forget, the wines themselves were startlingly successful. They present a far lighter character than the powerful 2023s – fine tannin, delicate structures, silky textures and gorgeous, soaring aromatics. Léon judged the extraction expertly, and each cuvée was impeccably balanced. The Amiots told us they expect the wines to be approachable young, and indeed several wines from our tasting were difficult to spit out.

The village-level Morey-St-Denis is a blend of several plots at the village level. The nose shows bright fresh cherries, with hints of earth and stones. The mouth is silky and smooth, with middle length and a clean, lace-like finish. Burghound found it “round, supple and middle-weight” with “good energy.” We think this will drink well from its arrival, particularly with a carafe.
