2022, Maison Benjamin Leroux, 'Clos Saint Denis', Grand Cru
$600
The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with vivid wild strawberries, macerated red cherries, rose petals and candied orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Quite a dense Clos Saint-Denis with hints of brown spice and an insistent grip on the finish. Quintessential Clos Saint-Denis. 93-95 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
Bright crimson. The bouquet is delicious, racy and floral. The vibrant pure red berry fruit covers the palate with a gossamer thread, leading to a delicious long finish. A hedonistic Clos St-Denis, registering 13.8%. **** 94-96 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy (2023).
