2022 Clos St Denis

There's only one barrel of the 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, derived from vines planted in 2003 in what was formerly a back garden entitled to the grand cru appellation. Bursting with aromas of sweet raspberries, cherries and rose petals, it's full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with a deep, layered palate and a long, sapid finish. This is a terrific wine, so the back garden wasn't repurposed in vain.
