2016 Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru

Vininformation

96 point, Wine Enthusiast

97 point, The World of Fine Wine: "Beautiful, perfumed, and balanced, with spice and incense, very aromaatic and concentrated. Utterly seductive, and has some grip. To keep." 

94 point, Tim Atkin MW: “… Showing the classic freshness of the Grand Cru, it’s a balanced, subtle, focused wine with loganberry and red cherry fruit and savoury tannins.”

17,5 point, JancisRobinson.com: "1.49 ha! 40% new oak. He recently changed oak sources. He is the biggest owner of the 6.3 ha. 45- to 70-year-old vines, always blended. Limpid ruby. Good density with a mentholated note. Rich and powerful and layered and really rather majestic. Real beginning, middle and end. Subtle. Long and layered. Excellent balance. He says this best expresses what he wants to do."

Georges Lignier er med 1,49 hektar største ejer i denne uforlignelige Grand Cru, der som det er skik i Bourgogne har lagt "efternavn" til kommunen Morey. Marken ligger højere, og det blæser ifølge Benoit Stehly mere her end i nabo Grand Cru'en Clos de la Roche. Så vinen fra Clos Saint Denis er mere delikat og har større finesse og større mineralitet i den intense og koncentrerede smag. Kvaliteter, der oftere forbindes med Grands Crus fra nabo kommunen Chambolle-Musigny!
