Jean-Marie Fourrier's Clos Solon is consistently among the best village Morey-St-Denis bottlings, sourced from a 0-5ha parcel close to the RN74. It's a ripe, generous style in 2018, with close to 14% alcohol, lots of colour and scented oak, ample concentration of bramble and black cherry fruit and enough supporting acidity for balance.

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Solon wafts from the glass with notes of cherries, smoky wild berries, cassis and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, its ripe core of fruit is framed by powdery tannins. This is a touch richer and deeper-pitched than the 2017 rendition, but it will offer a similarly broad drinking window.

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Solon has a very perfumed bouquet of dark plum and raspberry scents; a little iodine emerges with time. The deep, broody palate is well-structured with grainy tannins and a structured, slightly tarry finish. Fine, but needs a little more joy.

Mid crimson. Dark fruited and peppery opening up to the most gorgeous yet delicate floral note of peony. Succulent, dry, fine tannins. Very pure and with all the complexity of Morey. Tannins finish slightly chalky, adding to the very good freshness. (JH)
