In the same fashion as the Echézeaux the whole cluster vinification is evident with the notably prominent spice and floral elements that add breadth to the cool and ultra-pure aromas of red currant, cherry and discreet wood nuances. The delicious and strikingly refined medium weight flavors possess flat-out stunningly good intensity on the saline and hugely long finish. This is a CSD of focused power and refinement. (1/2018)

The 2016 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a superior bouquet to the Clos de la Roche, with ebullient raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, quite floral in style with orange blossom scents developing in the glass. There is an underlying sense of terroir, but it feels very discrete at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, harmonious and fresh with a long, tender, noble finish that is pulled out of the top drawer. This is a potentially awesome Clos-Saint-Denis that has a very bright future, one that might surpass the excellent 2015. (NM) (12/2017)
