The 2019 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru bursts with notes of raspberries, cherries, sweet spices, orange rind and loamy soil. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's rich and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and a sapid finish.

About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
