The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de la Bussière, which contains 50% whole bunch fruit, has a clean and precise, almost pixelated bouquet with blackberry, briary and cold limestone scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite structured in the mouth with filigree and tensile tannin. This is very focused, linear in style, which is surprising given the warmth during the growing season, with great clarity on the finish. This is just a fantastic Morey-Saint-Denis from Christophe Roumier.- Neal Martin (12/2016)
The 2015 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de la Bussières 1er Cru displays heavy reduction on the nose that obscures the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin, and quite animally in style but full of character, though the finish does not quite deliver the definition and vigor that I would have liked. Give it another two or three years and it may match my bracketed score from barrel. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.- Neal Martin (11/2018)
