Tasting notes
The 2017 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, which contains "a few stems," according to winemaker Frédéric Barnier, has a gorgeous bouquet of raspberry, cranberry and touches of crushed stone and orange pith - one of the finest aromatics from Jadot this year. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, demonstrating more weight and fruit intensity than its sibling Clos de la Roche. There is grip, focus and a sense of purpose whereas the Clos de la Roche seems to drink more easily. Superb.

The 2017 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot) offers up a pretty bouquet of sweet orange rind, red cherries and raw cocoa. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, open-knit and somewhat facile. In this tasting, it didn't appear to be one of the range's high points.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
