Louis Jadot Description
Clos Saint Denis from Domaine Gagey is an elegant wine, with a nice ruby color. It presents aromas of cherry and blackcurrant but also spices. The tannins are both powerful and subtle. This grand cru can definitely age very well more than 30 years. Ideally it should not be drunk before 5 years of age.
Pairs nicely with game and most cheeses from Burgundy.
Vinous: 95 Points
Deep, bright red. Lovely energy and lift to the aromas and flavors of red fruits, brown spices, dried flowers and sexy oak. Broad and dry on the palate, offering superb density and lift and a saline complexity that adds another dimension. This ripely tannic Clos Saint-Denis strikes me as unusually powerful for the vintage and for the cru. But that's no complaint.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2013 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru has a slightly lighter color than the Clos de la Roche. The bouquet is certainly in the red fruit spectrum, with fresh strawberry, red currant and cranberry notes. There is an appealing sense of transparency here. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, lighter than I expected but very focused and with fine tension. I was just anticipating more substance on the finish like the Clos de la Roche. Still, I appreciate this style of Clos Saint Denis that does not press down on the accelerator too hard.
