Description
93-95 Points | Wine Advocate, David Schildknecht
The 2005 Clos St.-Denis Vieilles Vignes displays a tightly-knit palate with tiny-berry concentration, brightness and cut. Resin, herbal essences, tobacco and wet stone accompany the black fruit elements from the nose through to a palate-staining finish. I would have picked this firmly-structured and memorably intense young wine as having included a significant portion of whole clusters and their stems and Laurent confirms that “just enough berries were crushed to start the juice flowing.” I would also pick this to be worth following for 12-15 years.
