2018 Clos St Denis

The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is made with 30% whole-bunch fruit and no new oak. This sports the best bouquet from Arlaud this year, featuring brilliantly detailed black fruit laced with crushed stone and faint incense aromas and conveying composure and refinement. The palate is beautifully balanced with filigreed tannins, perfectly pitched acidity, a sense of cohesion from start to finish and an irresistible sense of energy on the finish. One of the best examples from this Grand Cru.
