The wine was then aged in foudres and bottled without filtration

but tannins are even throughout palate hinting at this wines' s age worthy quality

it’s named for the highly prized orange that was once strictly reserved for Chinese royalty

The grape’s natural juiciness is mouth filling and a nice counter point to the dense tannins

some salt and still the sweeter notes

Olivier Jouan Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru La Riotte 2014 skus_30098942 The wine was then agedInitially muted but developed a nice cool berry nose with infused minerals of iron and hints of crushed flowers. Medium bodied and definitely burgundian in nature, feminine but has a tense structure that gives it weight without being heavy. Classic notes of strawberry mixed with a bit of leather funk and mushroom.
