The 2020 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru possesses one of the finest aromatics from Jadot this year with pixelated red bery fruit and perfectly integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, mainly red fruit laced with tobacco, mocha and white pepper, gentle grip on the finish and a persistent aftertaste. Superb. (NM)

This is the only Jadot bottling of Clos St-Denis this year, as there is no longer a negociant version. A fine bright pink edged purple, far from the deepest but very fine. The nose too shows more elegance than supercharged weight. This wine is giving its love right at the start and it is very classy all the way through, with very few overt tannins and just the right acidity. A few whole bunches explain the purity and length.

Punchy red fruits sing on the nose: pomegranate seeds, fresh cranberries and kirsch. Fabulously pure fruits soak the full-bodied palate encased in suave tannins and fresh acidity. This is focused and chiselled with excellent terroir clarity. Woodsy spice and leather notes mingle with the long, fruit-filled finish. 2025-40. (CC)
