The Morey-Saint-Denis appellation is located in Burgundy's in the Côte de Nuits region on the road Route des Grands Crus. This small wine-producing village lies between the famous appellations of Gevrey-Chambertin to the north and Chambolle-Musigny to the south. Morey-Saint-Denis is often less well known than its prestigious neighbors, but it produces wines of the highest quality. The appellation was founded in December 1936 to preserve the region's name. Morey Saint-Denis is also one of the appellations situated on the Route des Grands Crus. 

The terroir of Morey-Saint-Denis is characterized by limestone and marl soils, ideal for growing Pinot Noir, the appellation's dominant grape variety. The vines are planted on gentle, east-facing slopes, benefiting from optimal sunshine and a continental climate that favors grape ripening.

The Morey-Saint-Denis appellation comprises 20 Premiers Crus climats and five Grands Crus: Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos des Lambrays, Clos de Tart, and part of Bonnes Mares, shared with Chambolle-Musigny. The appellation's vineyards cover 88.48 hectares for red wines, including 39.42 hectares for Premier Cru, and 5.68 hectares for white wines, including 1.66 hectares for Premier Cru. 

Most vineyards are planted with pinot noir, but a few plots are planted with chardonnay or aligote. Red wines have a firm, brilliant ruby-garnet color with purplish highlights. The bouquet is composed partly of black fruit (blackcurrant, blueberry) and partly of red fruit such as cherry. Variations include violet, licorice and candied fruit. With age, they often evoke scents of leather and moss, or even truffles. Sustained and structured, these wines linger on the palate with perfect balance. 

Among the estates in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation are : Domaine Ponsot, Domaine Pierre Amiot and Domaine Marchand Freres.
