Morey-Saint-Denis

Morey-Saint-Denis is located in the Côte de Nuits, between Gevrey-Chambertin to the north, and Chambolle-Musigny to the south. The vineyards cover a surface area of 230 acres including 100 acres of Premier Crus and almost exclusively produce red Pinot Noir wines. This appellation offers a combination of the masculine character of Gevrey-Chambertin and the feminine typicity of Chambolle-Musigny.
