2013 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Solon Vieilles Vignes Domaine Fourrier

(from .55 ha parcel planted in 1961). A ripe and very fresh mix of red berries, warm earth and soft tea nuances leads to relatively full-bodied and delicious middle weight flavors that possess a suave and round mouth feel, all wrapped in a balanced and lingering finish. This is not especially complex at present yet the underlying material is present such that more will almost certainly develop.

The 2013 Morey Saint Denis Clos Solon, which was taken from two casks and will include around 20% new oak, has a fragrant, lightly candied bouquet with touches of orange sorbert and strawberry shortcake. The palate is medium-bodied, tightly wound, with a slight reduction toward the finish, a slight powdery texture on the finish. Fine.
