In the south of the village at the border with Chambolle, ‘Ruchots’ sits just under grand cru monopole Clos de Tart and grand cru Bonnes Mares. The vineyard’s location in a small valley means cooler winds from the north inspire a special microclimate, allowing a slower, longer ripening.

Soils are thin and iron-rich; subsoils are pure “mother rock” limestone.

Frédéric Magnien Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Ruchots 2022

First mentioned as far back as 1120, fourteenth century Morey was a place of asylum for Cistercian monks who appeared to have possessed numerous vineyards and even a winery by 1306.

The appellation extends from Chambolle-Musigny to Gevrey-Chambertin and covers around 148 hectares, 80% of which are planted with grapes for red wines. Ruchot indicates a place which contains rocks.
