Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru 2020
The 2020 vintage brilliantly expresses the finesse and ethereal character that this small, revered grand cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis is known for. The site's privileged position on the mid-slope contributes to its reputation for wines of exceptional refinement.
The bouquet displays remarkable sophistication, offering delicate red fruits, floral notes, and subtle spice nuances characteristic of this distinguished terroir. Charlopin's thoughtful winemaking approach allows the inherent elegance of Clos Saint-Denis to shine through, with each aromatic layer unfolding gracefully.
On the palate, the wine shows the perfect balance between power and finesse that defines great Burgundian grand crus. The texture is silky and refined, with precise tannins providing elegant structure without overwhelming the wine's delicate nature. The finish is persistent and mineral-driven, reflecting both the limestone-rich soils and the exceptional nature of this rarified site.
This is a wine that captures the essence of one of Burgundy's most elegant grand crus while showcasing Charlopin's ability to translate exceptional terroir into equally exceptional wine.
