is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Philippe Jouan Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbe 2021 is a refined and expressive wine from the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Sourced from the Premier Cru vineyard Clos Sorbe, this cuvée reflects the exceptional terroir of Morey-Saint-Denis, a village known for producing wines that bridge the power of Gevrey-Chambertin and the elegance of Chambolle-Musigny. The Jouan family, with five generations of winemaking heritage, is celebrated for their meticulous approach to viticulture and their commitment to crafting wines of finesse and authenticity.
In the glass, the 2021 Clos Sorbe reveals a bouquet of vibrant red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, layered with floral notes of rose petals and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and impeccably balanced, with fine-grained tannins and a lively acidity that enhances its precision and structure. The limestone-rich soils impart a mineral backbone, leading to a long, graceful finish with delicate hints of spice and forest floor.
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted duck, lamb with a herb crust, or mushroom risotto, and while approachable now for its vibrant fruit and freshness, it will evolve gracefully with 5–7 years of cellaring. The Philippe Jouan Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbe 2021 is a compelling expression of its vineyard, offering both immediate charm and the promise of greater complexity with age. A true testament to the Jouan family’s dedication to their craft and the timeless allure of Burgundy.
