Joseph Drouhin – Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru – Red – 2011:

 

The Exquisite Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru by Joseph Drouhin

Maison Joseph Drouhin’s Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is a testament to the majesty of fine red Burgundy. Hailing from the prestigious Morey-Saint-Denis village in the Côte de Nuits, this Grand Cru is crafted from the Pinot Noir grape, reflecting a legacy dating back to the 13th-century monks. Drouhin’s meticulous, biodynamic approach yields a wine of profound depth, structure, and elegance-a genuine collector’s bottle.

Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• Appearance: Deep, alluring ruby hue.
• Nose: Highly aromatic, presenting layers of ripe cherry and forest floor, gracefully accented by nuances of fine cigar box, exotic spice, and a savoury, gamey complexity that develops with age.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is one of satin and velvet. It is a powerhouse of concentrated, fine-grained tannins beautifully integrated with fresh acidity and a rich, enveloping texture. The finish is persistent, leaving elegant notes of candied red fruit.

Food Match & Serving

A wine of this calibre demands patience; it is optimal after 5 to 10 years of bottle age. Decant briefly if enjoying young, and serve with a refined main course.

• Serve At: 16°C (61-62°F)
• Best Cellared: 15-30 years
