"The Bertagna 2006 Clos St.-Denis features fresh, invigoratingly tartly-edged cherry and red currant in alliance with roasted red meats. Polished and buoyant as well as lip-smacking in its primary fruit juiciness, this harnesses its tart element in a way that certain of the wines in this year's Bertagna collection do not. Stony, saline, and gamey notes add interest to a long finish in which a slight hint of heat (albeit from only 13.5% alcohol) is detectable. But then, were the overall effect of this wine not so delicate in an attractive sense and its fruit not so transparent, that bit of heat would doubtless have gone unnoticed. Incidentally, there are 200-250 cases annually, a pretty good-sized share of this small cru."
