2022 Clos-St-Denis Grand Cru, Marchand-Tawse

2022 Clos-St-Denis Grand Cru, Marchand-Tawse

This comes from vines planted in the original Clos St-Denis, in the heart of the grand cru. 15% whole-bunch is played off against the new oak with commanding skill. It is massive and powerful, and clearly has a lot to say, for those who are patient enough to give it the time.

Tasting notes

Two barrels, both new, 25% whole bunch vinification. Very reductive, partly from the barrel. However, the wine shows through on the palate with just a slightly dry finish. This rougher edge is the reduction speaking. While there is a fair weight of fruit here, the reduction is winning for now, but note that this wine has not yet been racked. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: December 2023.
