If Clos de la Roche is the Beethoven of Morey-Saint-Denis - powerful, serious, and commanding - then Clos Saint-Denis is its Mozart: delicate, nuanced, and finely tuned. The village itself takes its name from this vineyard, established by monks of the collegiate church of Saint-Denis de Vergy in the eleventh century. At roughly six and a half hectares, it is significantly smaller than neighboring Clos de la Roche, and the terroir differs meaningfully: pebble-free brown limestone soil with higher clay content that retains more water, producing wines of greater aromatic complexity and perfume over sheer power. Jadot brings the same Grand Cru expertise here as it does across its remarkable Côte de Nuits portfolio, fermenting in vat for up to four weeks before eighteen to twenty months in barrel. At twenty-four years old this is a fully mature bottle: the fruit has turned savory, the tannins have resolved, and what is left is the perfume this vineyard exists for. Decant gently off the sediment and drink it now over an unhurried meal - if well stored, there is nothing to be gained by waiting.

"Much more deftly oaked with complex, elegant and beautifully pure red and black fruit aromas and sweet, deep, rich and mouth coating flavors that possess a spicy, powerful and extremely long finish. This is more understated than a number of the grands crus in the range though there is more muscle and punch than usual though about the same degree of structure. A terrific effort and the best since the extraordinary '99 that should improve for up to a decade and last for another."

"Dark red. Musky aromas of red fruits, chocolate and mocha, with complicating notes of herbs and underbrush. In a drier style than the Amoureuses, but with complex, well-defined flavors of red fruits, herbs and mint. Here one senses the vinification with the stems. Finishes with ripe, chewy tannins and lingering notes of earth, mocha and spice. An atypically strong showing for this cuvee." —Stephen Tanzer

"Produced from a tiny parcel of old vines (80-85 years old), the 2002 Clos St.-Denis explodes from the glass with delectable aromas of sweet blueberries and cherries. Medium to full bodied, it is broad, ample, expansive, and well-structured. Ripe blackberries, cassis, blueberries, leather, and herbs can be found in its flavor profile. This effort’s copious fruit envelopes an enormous quantity of ripe yet firm tannin." —Pierre Rovani

More about Louis Jadot

Founded in 1859, Jadot is one of Burgundy's great estates and négociants, with 600 acres scattered across the region's best vineyards—Chablis to Moulin-à-Vent. They make hundreds of wines, but each bottle carries the iconic Bacchus emblem and the weight of nearly two centuries of accumulated wisdom. Burgundy without the pretension.

Tasting Profile

Mature Pinot Noir: dried cherry and rose petal turning toward truffle, forest floor and sweet spice. Medium-bodied and silky, tannins fully resolved, with bright acidity and a long, perfumed finish.
