Clos Saint Denis, Henri & Philippe Jouan 2018

Tasting Notes

Revisited from bottle, the 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has turned out well, unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, smoked meats, cherries, orange rind, warm spices and framboise. Full-bodied, rich and muscular, its ample core of fruit largely concealing ripe but youthfully chalky tannins, this is a powerful, lusty Clos Saint-Denis that possesses plenty of character, even if it isn't the most elegant Jouan has produced in recent years.
