Presentation
This Grand Cru is located on the edge of Morey-Saint-Denis between the famed Monts Luisants and the Grand Cru Chambertin. Here, the poor calcareous clay soil overlies marls and Bajocian limestone containing crinoid fossils. A thin layer of silica is visible at the surface, which originates from the Grissard coomb. The name "Tricière" refers to the poor nature of the soil.

Tasting
Both delicate and intense, the nose opens up to scents of red and black fruit combined with subtle notes of rose, which will evolve over time toward more complex scents (spices, forest undergrowth, leather...). On the palate, this wine's structure is imposing, yet soft and silky. Perfect balance and a spectacular finish.
