Tasting notes
Cask sample. Nutty, chewy, has a savoury edge. Needs several years in bottle to blossom. Tannins have plenty of bite – I’d leave this for at least four years before broaching. I am sure it will be a great Clos St-Denis but do give it time. (AWH)

The 2024 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru was cropped at 29hl/ha, producing three barrels this vintage, one new with 40% whole cluster bunches. That is evident on the nose with cracked black pepper suffusing the red berry fruit, just a touch of reduction at play at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, well-structured with impressive balance, the oak neatly integrated. This deserves, say, two or three years to fully assimilate that patina of oak but there is definitely potential here.
