Tasting notes
Deepish cherry red. Light roasted aroma, peppery too but red fruit emerges in the glass. Perfectly pleasant but doesn't really have grand-cru excitement or intensity. (JH)

The 2013 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru contains about 40% whole-bunch fruit and matured in close to 50% new wood. It has a perfumed bouquet, floral and refined, with hints of black cherries and dark plum. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannins. There is great purity to this Clos Saint Denis, and a thrilling sense of tension toward the finish that I hope remains in situ once in bottle. Look out for this gem.
