2023 Clos St-Denis Grand Cru, Marchand-Tawse

2023 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

The 2023 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru was very reductive on the nose as usual, making it difficult to read. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy with fresh redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit alongside ripe tannins. It builds nicely toward the lightly spiced finish. This has a sense of nascent energy that I really like, and should age well in bottle.
