Morey-Saint-Denis is a wine-producing village in Burgundy renowned for its five prestigious Grand Crus: Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos des Lambrays, Clos de Tart, and Les Bonnes Mares. Though less famous than some neighboring villages, Morey-Saint-Denis is a true bastion of viticulture, where winemaking is woven into the fabric of local history and landscape.

A journey through the vineyards of Morey-Saint-Denis will immerse yourself in Burgundy’s wine heritage. You will explore Grand Cru parcels with your guide, each reflecting a unique terroir shaped over centuries.

The wine trail also leads to the Grand Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin where wine making dates back to the Merovingian period with vineyards like Clos de Bèze established nearly 1400 years ago. The diverse soils with their alluvial compositions provide a unique geological richness that enhances the renown of these crus.

Mythic vineyards, such as Clos des Lambrays and Clos de Tart, exemplify the region’s winemaking history. Clos des Lambrays, an 8.66-hectare vineyard, is famous for blending three distinct “climats.” Clos de Tart, on the other hand, is a unique 7.5-hectare vineyard, owned by the nuns of Tart for 650 years until the French Revolution. This Grand Cru monopole is celebrated for its hand-tended cultivation practices and long history.
