2018 Morey-St Denis, Clos des Godelles, 1er Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

Description

You will not find the Clos des Godelles on modern maps, but the name dates back to Napoleonic times and refers to this walled vineyard, known officially and somewhat confusingly as “Le Village”. Five barrels have been produced of this attractive, perfumed wine. Packed with violets and blueberries, it has a creamy texture and charming sweet fruit.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 88/100

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru has a slight touch of Brettanomyces on the nose, though not as acute as others. However, there is some pleasant open-knit red berry fruit here. There's an odd cordial scent that emerges with time. The palate is quite rustic with coarse tannins, sour cherry, and raspberry. Due to some prominent wood tannins, it is quite hard towards the dry finish. So-so.

It's more red than purple. The nose is quite sweet, with a liqueur cherry aroma and some blackcurrant leaf. This starts to change quite quickly to add more depth and a slightly more savoury touch. The palate has shades of the Linctus cough mixture. We have not otherwise seen many red cherries in the 2018s.

Drink from 2026
