Tasting notes
The 2014 Clos St Denis Très Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru takes its time to open in the glass, but eventually offers raspberry preserve, wild strawberry and distant estuarine scents mixed with desiccated orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied and supple in the mouth. This is very well proportioned, very focused with a noticeable saline tang on the finish. It will deserve 4-5 years in bottle; it is a bit broody and introverted now, but it has the substance to blossom.

110-year-old vines. Bright crimson. Smells of a hay barn on top of the intense ripe red-fruit flavours – so individual! Very juicy with the fine tannins overlain. Lots of drive and confidence. Sumptuous. Gives the impression you could drink it almost straight away! One of the most pungent, ethereal wines from the Ponsot stable. (JR)
