Tasting notes
Full, dark red. Captivating rose petal lift to the aromas of red fruits, iron and minerals; less earthy and more ethereal than the Clos de la Roche. Also juicier and tighter in the mouth, showing less early sweetness but terrific acid spine and lift to the sappy flavors of raspberry and salty minerals. This wine has really put on weight since its bottling, noted Diane Snowden. But it still boasts terrific cut and inner-mouth tension. Lay this one down.

The 2013 Clos St. Denis is a wine of detail, nuance and precision. All the classic Clos St. Denis signatures are present, but it's almost as if they are expressive in miniature in the 2013. Feminine and supple throughout, the 2013 Clos St. Denis shows the more finessed side of Morey, and it does so in grand style.
(80% new oak): Bright deep red. Highly complex, deep aromas of cherry, dried rose, leather, iron and smoky minerals. Sappy and intense, displaying outstanding precision and energy to the flavors of cherry, flowers and spices. Finishes with outstanding length; it's hard to scrape this off your palate. A great early showing for Dujac's Clos Saint-Denis, which is often inscrutable in the early going and overshadowed by the Clos de la Roche, but this wine also has a brilliant structure for aging. The crop level here was 28 hectoliters per hectare, according to Jeremy Seysses.
