Lou Dumont Koji Nakada Morey Saint Denis 2023

Lou Dumont Koji Nakada Morey-Saint-Denis is a refined Burgundy Pinot Noir that captures both elegance and depth, with the hallmark charm of a great Côte de Nuits red. Crafted with Koji Nakada’s thoughtful philosophy of "heaven, earth, and man," it reflects a balance of precision, terroir, and craft. Morey-Saint-Denis has long been admired for wines that sit gracefully between the perfume of Chambolle-Musigny and the power of Gevrey-Chambertin, and this bottle follows that tradition beautifully.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the classic translucent ruby hue expected of finely made Pinot Noir. The nose is led by vivid red fruit aromas—think cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry—wrapped in subtle floral and earthy nuances that add complexity and lift. On the palate, the wine is broad, polished, and refined, with a silky texture and a layered core of red berries, spice, and delicate minerality. Its balance and finesse suggest good aging potential, with the structure to evolve gracefully over the next several years, gaining more depth and nuance with time.

Production
Made from 100% Pinot Noir in Burgundy, this Morey-Saint-Denis benefits from the region’s cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils, which help preserve freshness and define the wine’s fine structure. The winemaking approach reflects Koji Nakada’s careful, terroir-driven style, aiming to express purity of fruit and the character of the appellation rather than heavy extraction.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast beef, duck, game birds, venison, and aged cheeses, where its finesse and depth can complement savory flavors beautifully. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if the wine is still youthful, to allow the aromatic layers and texture to open fully.

Producer
Lou Dumont Koji Nakada is a respected Burgundy producer founded by Japanese-born winemaker Koji Nakada, whose work in the region has earned admiration for its sensitivity and dedication to Pinot Noir. His wines are known for combining Burgundian tradition with a precise, thoughtful approach, and he has become notable for expressing terroir with clarity, elegance, and a deeply personal philosophy.
