Charles Van Canneyt - Morey-st-Denis 1er cru "Les Sorbets" 2023

Having helmed the iconic Domaine Hudelot-Noellat since 2008, Charles Van Canneyt is well known among burgundy connoisseurs.  Charles is Alain Hudelot’s grandson and a very talented and skilled winemaker in his own right. Through his extensive network of Burgundy’s finest growers, Charles sources excellent grapes. By style, it’s aligned with the family wines, pure and terroir transparent.

Les Sorbets lies next to Clos Sorbets in a line of 1ers Crus sitting just below the Grands Crus in the heart of the village. And this example is a little cracker, offering an awful lot of wine for the money. It displays the classic spice overtones that give Morey its unique character, whilst the fruit is cool, red fruited and youthful. A classically vibrant 2021 that is full of promise. Drink from 2026.

100% Pinot Noir.
