描述
The 0.17 ha of vines here (planted pre-phylloxera at an eye-opening 28,800 vines per hectare!) is located in the heart of the appellation on quite a steep, east-facing slope, in a marl dominant soil. Made with 20% whole bunches, there is a spicy, floral nose with layers of blackberry and raspberry fruit, and on the palate, it has mineral-inflected fruit with class, density, restraint and energy. Elegant and structured this is an exceptional wine. Needs 8 years and will last for 25. For drinking 2024 to 2036.
Vinous V92-94
The 2016 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru, of which there is just over three barrels, has a very crisp and poised blackberry, briary and pressed flower-scented bouquet that unfolds in the glass, revealing lovely mineral tones with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with stemmy notes on the entry (there is some whole bunch here) but there is great freshness and vitality on the finish. This works much better than the Charmes-Chambertin barrel sample, demonstrating more cohesion and finesse.
