The Morey premier cru from Lambrays has better density than the village-level wine; there is a ripe plummy fruit with notes of liquorice underlined with a note of dark chocolate. The texture has more weight and substance, and the tannins linger pleasantly on the finish. The wine is a blend of 50% declassified young vines from the Clos along with parcels owned in Morey premiers crus, including Les Riottes, Les Sorbès and Le Village, with half of the grapes fermented as whole clusters.

The 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Loups 1er Cru contains half Premier Crus (La Riotte and Clos Sorbé) and the other half from younger vines in Clos des Lambrays planted in 2000 that is likely to enter the Grant Vin next year. Including 50% whole bunches, it has an attractive dark berry fruit and subtle briny scents on the nose. Good intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit with a very precise finish enhanced by the stem addition. This is a much more serious wine than the Village Cru. 

Aromas of rose petals, sweet red berries, cinnamon and clove introduce the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Loups, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's supple and perfumed, structured around powdery tannins and concluding with a saline finish.
