About this Item

Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbé, 2014
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Born of a partnership between Francois Feuillet, the businessman, and David Duband, the son of a winemaker, this Burgundy estate in the Cote de Nuits is well-known for its outstanding Pinot Noirs. Instead of investing in Bordeaux, like many others, Francois Feuillet turned to Burgundy, following his own personal wine preference. Treated as a passion and not just a business, Francois made it a company policy to only acquire high-quality vineyards. First, he started in Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. For the 1991 vintage he hired David Duband as his winemaker. At the time, David had just left oenology school in Beaune but had already started making a name for himself as an up-and-coming Burgundy star. Today, the domaine holds 4 acres of Grand Cru plots, 8 acres of Premier Cru and another 12 acres in the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis.

Critics Ratings

‘This is compact and dense, with plenty of oak and aromatic notes of sandalwood and sweet spices shading the cherry and berry fruit. The tannic finish imparts a chalky feel, along with a minerally accent. Best from 2020 through 2033.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (May 2017)
