The 2017 Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbé is a mature Premier Cru Burgundy from one of the most respected family estates in Morey-Saint-Denis. Sourced from the highly regarded Clos Sorbé vineyard, this Pinot Noir has benefited from several years of bottle age, allowing its fruit, structure and terroir character to integrate into a complex and harmonious expression of the appellation.
The nose is elegant and developed, revealing aromas of black cherry, red plum and wild raspberry alongside notes of dried rose petals, forest floor, spice and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it is silky and beautifully balanced, with refined tannins, fresh acidity and layered flavours of red and dark berries. Savoury complexity and mineral detail emerge through a long, persistent finish, showcasing the character and maturity of this Premier Cru site.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a wonderful choice for Burgundy lovers seeking a mature Pinot Noir with both elegance and depth. The additional bottle age brings greater complexity while preserving freshness and structure. Pair with roast duck, game birds, mushroom dishes or herb-crusted lamb. Drinking beautifully now, with the potential to continue evolving gracefully over the next 5–8 years.
