This offering an excellent representation of the red burgundies of the Côte de Nuits region. Earthy but elegant, great raspberry with floral notes. It's also a pretty good value.

What experts say about this wine

100

Burghound

As is typically the case with Millandes there is more volume and power to the medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration while delivering fine length on the tautly muscular, intense and well-balanced finale. This firmly structured effort doesn't have the refinement of the Clos des Ormes but overall it is the more complete wine.

The 2014 Marchand-Tawse Morey-Saint-Denis Les Millandes Premier Cru is bright and lovely. TASTING NOTES: This wine is all about elegance. Its style aromas and flavors of red fruit and flowers stay active and fresh on the palate. Pair it with lightly-seasoned grilled lamb chops.
