Domaine Gille Morey St. Denis Clos Sorbe Premier Cru 2013
Pinot Noir | France
$74.95 $100.00 - 750mL
Sourced from an amazing premier cru vineyard just downslope from Grand Crus, Clos de Tart, and Clos des Lambrays! Clos Sorbe is an incredible walled vineyard (clos) in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis directly in front of Domaine des Lambrays. The vineyard is thought to be named after the Rowan trees that grow nearby. The vineyard has white limestone, marly soils with good proportions of clay, and produces wines that are ripe, soft and quite generous in style. This wine is no expectation showing beautiful clarity and purity with cherry fruit, flowers and earthy minerals. This is an exceptional effort in a cooler vintage and a wine that should cellar well for at least another decade.

About The Producer
The Gille family has resided in the village of Comblanchien continuously since 1570. Since that time, the domaine has been passed down from father to son over the generations. The present domaine was developed by Vivant Gille in the early 1900’s, and today the 9-hectare domaine is run by his grandson, Pierre Gille. The vines on this tiny property range from 45 to 80 years of age, with some parcels owned by the family since the late 18th century. All the work is done by hand, following traditional methods, as M. Gille says “respecting the terroir and the unique character and challenges of each vintage.” These are truly hand-crafted wines of great personality and individuality, made in the most traditional manner.
