Santenay 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau Domaine Morey Thomas, 2023

Santenay 1er Cru Grand Clos Rousseau from Domaine Morey Thomas is a refined Burgundy red that highlights the elegance and mineral-driven character of the Côte de Beaune. As a Premier Cru from a respected site in Santenay, it offers depth, finesse, and the kind of site expression collectors look for in high-quality Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes
This 2023 vintage is expected to show a vibrant ruby colour with a lifted, youthful sheen. On the nose, it should lean toward red cherries, wild strawberries, and delicate floral notes, layered with subtle spice, earth, and a touch of oak influence. On the palate, the wine is likely to be supple yet precise, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a balanced core of red fruit, savory complexity, and mineral tension. While already appealing in its youth, it should also reward a few years of bottle age, gaining further nuance and texture over time.

Production
Produced in Santenay, one of the southernmost communes of the Côte de Beaune, this Premier Cru benefits from a terroir shaped by limestone and marl soils that encourage freshness, structure, and aromatic lift. The vineyard’s exposure and elevation help preserve purity in the fruit, while careful harvesting and traditional Burgundy winemaking are used to maintain the character of the site. Vinification is typically focused on gentle extraction and restrained oak use, allowing the personality of the vineyard and vintage to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast duck, grilled quail, mushroom dishes, veal, and earthy vegetarian plates such as lentil ragout or truffle risotto. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young, to allow the aromas to open fully.
