This new vineyard is on red soil at the top of the vineyard along with the previously existing 0.20ha of Clos Sorbè. Jacques notes that unlike Clos Baulet Clos Sorbè is angled a touch to the south making it a sunnier site. 40% whole bunch vinification here too. A slightly fuller ruby colour with more red fruit and less white pepper in comparison with Baulet. Strawberry and raspberry suave svelte a little touch of velvet while retaining the slight savoury touch of Morey. Interesting to make such different wines from neighbouring plots.

2022 is the first year for the Morey premier cru Clos Sorbè made famous by the Morey legend Jacky Truchot. The wine seems more elegant and fine than that somewhat rustic style with an expressive cherry and pomegranate fruit hints of rose petals and liquorice and an approachable but still substantial and tannic texture. Devauges notes that the terres rouges (iron-bearing clay) soils are a bit warmer than the adjoining Clos Baulet. The total holding for the domaine is a relatively substantial 1.15 hectares. (Drink between 2028-2055)

Once again the nose is cool pure and airy while combining exuberantly spicy notes of the essence of red currant with hints of earth violet and a whisper of wood toast. There is very good size weight and richness to the concentrated middleweight plus flavors that possess a slightly finer texture thanks to the dense but fine-grained tannins supporting the impressively persistent and well-balanced finale. This is also worth checking out. (Drink starting 2032)
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Sorbé 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet with dark berry fruit hints of black tea and loam. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh quite sensual entry. The whole bunches are very well-integrated and not particularly noticeable. It's pure on the finish and more expressive than its showing from barrel. This will be difficult to resist in its youth. (Drink between 2024-2037)
