The Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Les Genavrières comes from an outstanding vineyard located immediately beside the renowned Clos de la Roche Grand Cru. Although often overshadowed by its illustrious neighbours Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis is home to some of the Côte de Nuits' finest terroirs. The name "Genavrières" derives from the juniper shrub, traditionally found on Burgundy's limestone soils. The combination of clay-limestone marl and fractured limestone gives this Pinot Noir exceptional finesse, freshness and aromatic depth.
