2010 Morey-St Denis, Domaine David Clark, Burgundy

Description

There is less than a barrel of this in 2010… Beautiful mid purple colour, hauntingly fine and with real density of fruit. Dark red fruit on the palate, almost some chocolate, good grip behind with a crunch yet juicy finish.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

2010 has produced miniscule yields for David Clark, no more than 20 hl/ha, the most courageous Scotsman in Morey St-Denis. The wines are superb though, with very gentle extraction, no stems this year and of course, David’s meticulous attention to detail at his micro estate. This will be the last vintage for his Bourgogne Passetoutgrains, David having recently sold the vineyard.

Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 89/100
The 2010 Morey St. Denis is gorgeous. It reveals beautiful vibrancy in its dark cherries, violets, sweet spices and menthol. There is an energy and drive there that is quite striking. The 2010 was aged entirely in steel. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.antonio_galloni - 29/02/2012

About this wine

Domaine David Clark

After 10 successful years as a vigneron, David has decided to search out new challenges in his life. The 2012 vintage (available January 2014) is the last from this excellent source of Burgundy wine. Domaine David Clark was based in the small village of Morey-Saint-Denis, nestled in the heart of Burgundy's famous and exclusive Côte de Nuits. His penchant for wine, developed after spending a year working for a UK wine merchant, led him to the 1997 harvest at Mayacamas in the Napa Valley and the 1998 at Tahbilk in Australia. It was also within this region that he was interviewed and subsequently hired by the Williams Formula One team for the Grand Prix.
