Louis Jadot Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 1995 750ml

Maison Louis Jadot, the Beaune house founded in 1859, is one of Burgundy's most respected names, with an exceptional range of grand crus. Clos Saint-Denis, the grand cru that gave the village of Morey-Saint-Denis its name, is known for Pinot Noir of perfume, finesse and silky structure. The 1995 vintage produced a small crop of concentrated, firmly built red Burgundies that needed years to unwind. Wine Advocate's early review noted a sweet, waxy, mineral and floral nose with blackberry, cassis and earth on a viscous yet precise palate. Thirty years on, expect a fully mature wine with dried cherry, forest floor and savory sous-bois notes. Drink now, decanting gently off any sediment.
