Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru 2022
The 2022 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru from Philippe Charlopin demonstrates the ethereal elegance that has made this small grand cru one of Burgundy's most revered sites. The privileged mid-slope position in Morey-Saint-Denis contributes to a wine of exceptional refinement and complexity.
The nose is beautifully perfumed and sophisticated, offering delicate red fruits, floral notes, and subtle spices characteristic of this distinguished terroir. The aromatic profile shows remarkable precision, with each element clearly defined yet harmoniously integrated, benefiting from the warmth and ripeness of the 2022 vintage.
On the palate, the wine displays the perfect balance between power and finesse that defines great Clos Saint Denis. The texture is remarkably silky and refined, with precise tannins providing elegant structure without overwhelming the wine's inherent delicacy. The finish is persistent and mineral-driven, with waves of pure fruit and floral notes that continue to evolve.
This wine brilliantly captures both the ethereal nature of Clos Saint Denis and the generous character of the 2022 vintage, while showcasing Charlopin's ability to translate exceptional terroir into wine of equal distinction.
