Note: also from a .18 ha holding in Clos St. Denis proper and Les Chaffots; 42% whole clusters
Tasting note: Highly reserved notes of herbal tea, spice and red currant are trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out. The sleeker but not more voluminous flavors exude a bracing minerality on the exceptionally compact and austere though not hard finale. Extended patience will absolutely be required.
