The 2022 Morey-Saint-Denis Les Loups 1er Cru is the first vintage not to include fruit from the Grand Cru, as the vines have reached 22 years, so that is not blended into the Clos des Lambrays. It now includes fruit from Les Blanchard, La Riotte and Le Village (yes, the latter is a Premier Cru). This has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with crushed strawberry and wild cherry scents, potpourri and a hint of lavender - quite Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. There is good depth here and fine complexity and salinity on the finish; this reconfigured Les Loups is worth seeking out.
94 Pts Neal Martin, Vinous
A discreet application of wood sets off the slightly more elegant, and certainly more floral-suffused, aromas of red cherry, currant and crushed anise. There is fine volume to the rich and intense medium-bodied flavors that deliver fine length on the dusty, youthfully austere and more complex finale that is just a bit more structured. Fine development potential here.
