Morey St Denis Les Millandes is a fine Red Burgundy that blends structure with elegance. A highly complex bouquet based on red and black fruits.
Reviews:
- Allen Meadows: There is outstanding volume to the big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors that coat the palate with dry extract while delivering excellent length on the dusty and built-to-age finish.
- Vinous: Containing 100% whole bunch, it has an intense bouquet of pine-needle-infused red and black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, and a little tarry toward the finish.
Producer Information
Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini (formerly Domaine Heresztyn) is a wine producer based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or heartland. The domaine produces a range of predominanly Pinot Noir-based red wines across a number of quality levels from basic Bourgogne to premier and grand cru – all from local and neighboring appellations. The domaine was established over the 1930, 40s and 50s by Polish immigrant and vineyard worker Jan/Jean Heresztyn. For many years known as Domaine Heresztyn, the estate name changed in 2012, becoming Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini, and is run by Jean Heresztyn’s granddaughter Florence and her partner Simon Mazzini. The estate boasts 5.5 hectares (13 acres) of vineyard holdings across the appellations of Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Chambolle-Musigny. Among these, the domaine has plots in the Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru as well as a number of Gevrey-Chambertin premiers crus, including Les Champonnets and Les Goulots, and the Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes site. The majority of labels cover Gevrey, however, with several villages-level releases including the Vieilles Vignes and Clos Village labels. A village-level Chambolle-Musigny is also produced from the Aux Echanges and Les Bas Doix climats, just below (and to the east of) the strip of premier cru vineyards below Chambolle.
