Domaine Tortochot, Morey Saint Denis Aux Charmes 2021

Domaine Tortochot’s Morey-Saint-Denis Aux Charmes 2021 is a charming, fruit-driven Burgundy with the elegance and structure characteristic of the Côte de Nuits. Rounded and approachable in texture yet supported by fine tannins and refreshing acidity, it offers a graceful expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected villages. The Tortochot family has been cultivating vines in the area for four generations, with roots in Gevrey reaching back to the 19th century.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a bright ruby colour, typical of a youthful Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir. Its inviting nose combines ripe red berries and darker fruit with delicate floral nuances and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is supple and rounded, with flavours of cherry, raspberry and plum complemented by fine-grained tannins and a balanced line of acidity. The 2021 vintage favours freshness, finesse and aromatic clarity rather than sheer power. It can be enjoyed now with a little air, but should develop added savoury complexity and a softer texture over the next five to eight years, depending on storage conditions.

Production
The wine comes from Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, an area celebrated for its limestone-rich soils and Pinot Noir wines that combine perfume, depth and structure. The available information does not specify the exact harvesting or vinification methods used for this cuvée, but Domaine Tortochot’s stated approach is centred on expressing the character of the terroir through a traditional, balanced style with plenty of fruit, firm tannins and lively acidity.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 15–17°C after allowing the bottle to breathe for 30–60 minutes. Decanting is not essential for this relatively young 2021, although a short decant can help open the wine and soften its tannins. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, coq au vin and moderately seasoned Burgundy-inspired cuisine.

Producer
Domaine Tortochot is a family-owned estate with four generations of winemaking heritage in Burgundy. The family’s presence in the Gevrey area can be traced back to Paul Tortochot, a 19th-century vigneron, while the domaine is now led by his great-granddaughter Chantal Tortochot. Trained as an oenologist, Chantal represents a new generation of Burgundian winemakers, combining respect for tradition with a clear focus on terroir-driven wines. The estate is particularly associated with the classic Côte de Nuits style: expressive fruit, distinctive tannins, good acidity and the patience required for the wines to mature.
