Reseña profesional

Morey-Saint-Denis (often Morey-St-Denis) is a commune and corresponding appellation in the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. The communal Morey-Saint-Denis appellation was created in December 1936.

The appellation covers the production of both red and white wines. However, the vast majority of the wines produced under the appellation are red, made from the Pinot Noir grape variety.

Only about five percent of production is devoted to white wines, similar to Fixin and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Most of these are made from Chardonnay, as one might expect. However, one or two parcels are planted with Pinot Blanc or Aligoté.

Prior to the introduction of this appellation, wines from the village were often sold under the better-known names of Morey’s neighbors, Gevrey-Chambertin or Chambolle-Musigny. A decade earlier, Morey had followed the example of these two villages in appending the title of a prized vineyard to its existing name.
