Tasting Notes
Located next to the Ponsot winery. 100% whole bunch, 50% new wood. Fine deep crimson-purple. The hedonism of Clos St-Denis is a little bit tamed by the whole bunches which add a thread of structure running all through the middle. Will that dissipate and let the wine express itself fully? I think so, but not straight away. There is no faulting the fruit concentration, and the tightly wound structure at the back holds good promise for the future. Very nicely balanced.

The 2019 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is matured with 50% new oak and 100% whole bunch, the pruning having changed from cordon to Guyot simple in 2018. It has a lovely bouquet of orange-peel- and marmalade-infused red berry fruit, fine mineralité and wonderful definition. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Quite savory in style, leading to a slightly austere finish that should gain a little more flesh with bottle age. This is a classy offering that will need 4-5 years to show its full potential.
