Domaine GERARD PEIRAZEAU & FILS Morey-Saint-Denis "Les Craies" 2022

750ml

SGD 104.00

Rare Wine

Domaine Gérard Peirazeau is fortunate to be blessed with the precious plots from Robert Groffier’s original estate, and the future can only be better with Sophie Charlopin on board. Afterall, she is the daughter of Philippe Charlopin, a student and close friend of the great Henri Jayer. Philippe founded his eponymous winery in 1977 and has an impressive portfolio of Grand Crus that include the Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru.

Hailing from the home turf of Domaine Gérard Peirazeau, the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis range featured today includes a village red, a rare village white, Les Genavrières 1er Cru and the Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru. It is worth noting that these are nowhere to be found on the secondary market, which might bode well for recipients of today’s offer as rising popularity can only push prices higher! Those who feel priced out of better-known producers should relish the opportunity to be acquainted with the wines of Gérard Peirazeau while prices remain grounded.

Tasting Profile

  • Body: Medium-bodied

  • Acidity: Acidity is medium-plus, providing a lovely balanced lift and freshness that is characteristic of Burgundy and helps to frame the fruit.
  • Sweetness: Dry

Tasting Notes: On the palate, this "Les Craies" offer a vibrant expression of red fruit. Notes of bright cherry and raspberry with hints of darker fruit like plum or black cherry emerging. There might be a subtle floral lift, perhaps suggesting violets or rose petals, adding aromatic complexity. A characteristic of Morey-Saint-Denis, even at the village level, can be a touch of earthy or savory nuance, which could manifest as subtle notes of forest floor or a stony minerality. Given the vineyard name "Les Craies" (the chalks), a distinct mineral undertone is quite plausible, contributing to the wine's elegance and length. The finish is moderately long, echoing the fruit and subtle earthy notes with a pleasant freshness.

Discover the Winery: Domaine Gérard Peirazeau et Fils

Jules Groffier (1898-1974) acquired the first vineyard holdings of the domaine, which were later divided between his children: Robert Groffier and Bernadette Groffier. Bernadette married into the Peirazeau family and established “Domaine Peirazeau-Groffier.” Laurent Peirazeau, grandson of Bernadette and son of Gérard, decided to expand the family’s production from the 2019 vintage onward under the label “Gérard Peirazeau & Fils”. Laurent, along with his partner Sophie Charlopin, who comes from a prominent wine family herself, manages a 3.65-hectare vineyard spread across 3 villages, including Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, and Gevrey-Chambertin. Although the vineyard is relatively small, it boasts exceptional terroirs and plot locations. The domain produces 13 appellations, 5 of which are among the most celebrated Grand Crus, including Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Charmes Chambertin, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, and Bonnes Mares. The majority of the vineyards consist of old vines, with an average age of 60 years. The domaine practices sustainable cultivation using organic or biocontrol products, but is not certified. Plowing is limited, and weeding is rare. In the cellar, Peirazeau does not use any added products; only native yeasts are used for fermentation. The red wines, except Coteaux Bourguignons and Bourgogne Pinot Noir, are all aged in oak barrels.
