Tasting Note
Gérard Raphet Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes 2018 is deep, structured, and beautifully expressive. Aromas of black cherry, ripe raspberry, and plum are layered with notes of violet, forest floor, baking spice, and subtle earth. The palate is supple yet firmly built, showing concentrated dark fruit, fine but persistent tannins, and vibrant acidity that keeps the wine poised and energetic. Savoury and mineral-driven, it finishes long and composed—powerful Morey-Saint-Denis wrapped in Raphet’s signature restraint.
