Despite having four grand crus - five if you include the small portion of Bonnes-Mares - the small appellation of Morey-Saint-Denis has historically been overlooked in favor of its neighbors - Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. From north to south, its grand crus are: Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos des Lamnbrays, and Clos de Tart, totalling 40 hectares in area under vines, which at their best, are every bit as impressive as the Cote de Nuit’s other great vineyards. Most of the commune’s twenty premier crus lie just below the grand crus and uncommonly account for less area, with just 33 hectares. Although the commune is predominantly planted with Pinot Noir, there are some Chardonnay and even Pinot Blanc vines across the hillside with some interesting examples coming from premier cru Les Blanchards and Monts Luisants to name a few.
