Morey-Saint-Denis

Commune in the Côte de Nuits area which, like so many in Burgundy, added the name of the best location in the 19th century. In the meantime, however, Clos Saint-Denis is no longer considered the best. The vineyards cover 100 hectares. Under the Village appellation of the same name, red wines are made from Pinot Noir with shares of Pinot Gris and Pinot Liébault. The white wines are produced from Chardonnay.
