Tasting Notes & Ratings
Grape
100% Pinot Noir
Cuvée made with purchased grapes, harvested by the estate's team on the Clos Solon and Bas Chevevery climats, for a total of 50 ares showing clay-limestone soils. Yields 40 hl/ha. Vinification: all work is done by gravity – cold pre-fermentation maceration with 100% destemmed grapes, indigenous yeasts, some pumping over, and 12 months of maturation in barrels (25% are new oak). Blended in vats, and bottled at the estate.
Tasting notes
Nice expressive nose offering beautiful aromas of small red fruits. The mid-palate is fresh and airy, with mineral noted revealing the Terroir with more limestone. Full-bodied, juicy and precise wine.
More About The Winery
Domaine Morgan Truchetet is a small, family-run estate based in Prémeaux-Prissey, just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits. Morgan Truchetet, alongside his sister Julie, represents the sixth generation of the family and took over the domaine in 2019, bringing a fresh, terroir-focused and low-intervention approach to both vineyard and cellar.
The estate spans around 6 hectares, planted mainly to Pinot Noir with smaller parcels of Chardonnay and Aligoté. The vineyards are located across Bourgogne, Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Côte de Nuits-Villages, and villages including Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Gevrey-Chambertin. Farming follows organic principles, with meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and a strong emphasis on vine health and soil expression.
Winemaking is precise and minimalist, using indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and a careful, restrained use of oak to preserve purity and freshness. The wines are known for their elegance, vibrant fruit, and fine tannic structure, reflecting a modern yet classic interpretation of Côte de Nuits terroirs.
