Dense, fresh and profound, the true character of Morey-Saint-Denis from a vigneran to follow closely.
From a discreet climat in Morey-Saint-Denis, Clos Solon 2023 from Domaine Olivier Jouan captures the full nobility of this appellation, often regarded as the ideal point of equilibrium between the structure of Gevrey-Chambertin and the finesse of Chambolle-Musigny.
A quiet domaine yet highly sought after by connoisseurs, Olivier Jouan tends his vines with precision and sensitivity, privileging an approach respectful of living terroir. In the cellar, vinifications remain largely hands-off, with gentle extractions and measured ageing, allowing the Pinot Noir and the singular character of the terroir to fully express themselves.
The nose reveals itself as deep and refined, mingling aromas of ripe dark and red fruits, blackcurrant, raspberry and blackberry, alongside elegant floral notes and a subtly spicy touch. With aeration, nuances of forest floor, liquorice and a fine wooded imprint enrich the bouquet.
The palate is structured and harmonious, with lovely density carried by fine, well-integrated tannins. The wine offers precise matter, both ample and tense, where the fruit expresses itself with clarity, sustained by a freshness that lengthens the tasting.
The finish is long and elegant, marked by spicy notes and a discreet minerality that defines the cru's identity. A complete and refined Morey-Saint-Denis, to be enjoyed today after aeration or left to evolve for a few years to gain in complexity.
