Lucien Le Moine 2003 Clos Des Ormes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)
-
$75
One of the best values in the Le Moine lineup, this isn’t all that dark, but don’t let looks deceive you. The aromas are lovely, boasting hints of roses and violets, while the mouthfeel is supple. Picks up spice notes on the silky finish. Immediately delicious, but should hold 5–8 years. Imported by Vintus LLC.

Domaine Dujac 2009 Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)
-
$96
Big, tannic and fruity, giving an intense structure of black plums laced with sweet raspberries. It exudes richness and power, generous while also firm.

Domaine Henri Perrot-Minot 2000 En la rue de Vergy Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)
-
$44
Bordered by the three grand crus of Bonnes Mares, Clos de Tart and Clos des Lambrays, but “just” a village wine, so the price is remarkably fair. The 2000 is velvety, and packed with earth and bright raspberries. A firm finish suggests that the best is yet to come; try in 2005.

This powerful wine packs its rich fruit and acidity into a tight structure of sweet tannins. It is designed for aging, with its powerful texture and red berries layered with plum skin and damsons.

Domaine Michel Magnien et Fils 2004 Les Chaffots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)
-
$93
This wine epitomizes the firmness of Morey along with its often exotic spice and black fruit flavors, a warming wine that just keeps to the right side of too much extraction.
