Note di degustazione
The 2005 Clos St.-Denis Vieilles Vignes displays a tightly-knit palate with tiny-berry concentration, brightness and cut. Resin, herbal essences, tobacco and wet stone accompany the black fruit elements from the nose through to a palate-staining finish. I would have picked this firmly-structured and memorably intense young wine as having included a significant portion of whole clusters and their stems and Laurent confirms that “just enough berries were crushed to start the juice flowing.” I would also pick this to be worth following for 12-15 years.

Deep red-ruby. Highly complex aromas of wild red berries, mocha, minerals and rose petal. Then suave and precise on the palate, with terrific cut to the tangy raspberry and floral flavors. Sappy, noble wine with unusual volume for young Clos Saint-Denis but also superb inner-palate energy. Finishes with a powerful whiplash of flavor. I love this style.
