(BH89-91 points) Moderate reduction flattens the nose. There is a lovely floral character to the precise and appealingly mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration while displaying good verve and persistence on the reasonably complex, persistent and well-balanced finish.

(WA89-91 points) The 2012 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru comes from 4 different lieux-dits from north to south of the appellation (the same as previous years.) It has a very refined bouquet that shows more mineralite on the nose than the village cru with hints of rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm entry: a “solid” premier cru with a pleasant limestone touch towards the finish. It just needs to develop a little more flesh by the time of bottling, but there is an agreeable sense of energy displayed here. - Neal Martin
