“The 2002 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is one of the finest releases of the decade. It immediately seduces with its cornucopia of red cherry and crushed strawberry aromas, scents of wilted rose petal and a light ferrous note. This is supremely well focused. The medium-bodied, beautifully proportioned palate delivers gentle grip, fine depth and filigreed tannins. There is a slight pepperiness from the whole-bunch addition toward the finish, which feels harmonious and poised. As the wine opens in the glass, it seems to gain weight and substance, turning almost “punchy” on the finish. Superb.”

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
