Domaine Bertagna Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru 2017 (750ml)

Clos Saint Denis is located in the celebrated village of Morey, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. A wide range of aromas drift from the glass: floral, fruity, spicy and mineral. Floral and mineral flavors develop further on the palate. Structured and intense, this is a wine worthy of aging.

The tension of limestone acidity drives this wine, holding its broad, earthy fruit to an elegant line. It keeps the drinker at a distance, offering glimpses of fruit behind dark black-cherry-skin tannins. There’s a cool rain of strawberry flavor, a hint of stewed tomato, a spice note of star anise. Like the night sky, the wine makes no concessions to modernity. You’ll have to wait a decade or more for its star to rise.
