Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru ‘Les Sorbets’ is a refined expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, crafted by Olivier Guyot. This wine combines elegance and complexity, making it a must-have for enthusiasts of Pinot Noir and Burgundy’s renowned Premier Cru vineyards.

Domaine Olivier Guyot employs sustainable farming practices that respect the soil and ecosystem. The 2021 ‘Les Sorbets’ Pinot Noir comes from a single 0.33-hectare parcel in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation, where limestone and clay soils contribute to its distinctive character. After hand harvesting and a meticulous double sorting process, the wine underwent traditional fermentation and was aged for 14-18 months in French oak barrels, with 30% new oak lending subtle structure and depth.

This vintage balances bright red fruit with savoury undertones, showcasing the precision and craftsmanship of its maker. With limited production and a dedication to Burgundian tradition, the 2021 ‘Les Sorbets’ stands out as a collector’s item and a symbol of Olivier Guyot’s artistry.

Pairing Suggestions: Delight in this wine with duck breast, venison, or coq au vin. Vegetarian options include wild mushroom risotto or truffle-infused polenta.

Tasting Note: Aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, and leather mingle with hints of oak and spice. The palate is balanced with red fruit, liquorice, and a lingering finish.
