Notes de dégustation

A consistent red colour characterises this wine. The bouquet features tremendous complexity, with a very distinct initial taste and a balance between sweetness and acidity typically very well controlled. This grand cru is characteristic of the Morey style, as underscored by its level of finesse.

Our Clos St Denis Grand Cru wine is perfectly suited to your most delicate game dishes and roasts. These maturation conditions yield a wine with excellent ageing capacity. 10 years after harvest are the minimum required for this Clos St Denis to reveal its qualities. The very best vintages can easily remain in the cellar 25 years without any risk of having passed their prime, even though a thin layer of deposit will form over time.
