RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

Blackberry, wood smoke, peat, and cedar aromas segue into a richly roasted meat and smoked peat palate.

90Stephen Tanzer

Dark berries, black cherry and a hint of truffle on the nose. Liqueur-like strawberry and raspberry flavors are kept fresh by underlying minerality. This boasts attractive, sappy fruit and harmonious acidity.

90Burghound.com

A distinctly cool and reserved nose of ripe dark berry fruit mixed with ample warm earth notes merges into rich, full and beautifully precise middle weight flavors that are quite firmly structured on the impressively complex finish.

PRODUCER

Albert Morot

Albert Morot is a 20-acre domaine in Beaune. It was founded by the Morot family as a negociant in 1820 but also became a producer in 1890 with the purchase of vineyards.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Beaune, Les Marconnets

Les Marconnets is a 14-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Beaune appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. The vineyard is located at the northern end of the appellation near the top of a slope. Clive Coates has called the wines of Les Marconnets “fullish, plump and rich.” Les Marconnets is one of 44 Premier Crus in Beaune, which has no Grand Crus.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
