Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru

Wine information: Morey Saint Denis is one of the smallest village appellation of the Côte de Nuits. Four Grands Crus are located in this village and among them the Clos Saint Denis. Almost "squeezed" between Gevrey Chambertin and Chambolle Musigny, the wines of Morey are strong like the Gevrey wines and very elegant like the Chambolle wines. The origin of the Clos Saint Denis is very old. The vineyard used to belong to the Vergy church of Saint Denis founded in 1203 in the château of Vergy. The vineyard facing East, is located on a soil made of calcareous clay with iron and marls.Clos Saint Denis of Louis Jadot is a powerful wine, with a dark colour showing strong aromas of cherries, black current but also spices typical of our terroir. The tannins are both powerful and elegant. The Clos Saint Denis matches very well duck and game as well as french cheese like Cîteaux or Reblochon.

"Notably dark crimson. Lots tucked in there though not especially discernible at the moment. Very succulent with lots of pure, fresh fruit on the front palate. This wine seems different from most of the rest...? Easy and perhaps a little more modern and user-friendly than some? Even if without any traditional funkiness." 17.5 Points, Jancis Robinson 2010.
