Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot’s Grand Cru lineup is one of the best-kept secrets in the Cote de Nuits, and Clos Saint-Denis is the smaller, more refined sibling to their Clos de la Roche. Where Clos de la Roche is muscular and dark, Clos Saint-Denis trades power for elegance, perfume, and lift – a more sensual style of Morey Grand Cru. The 2020 is a striking expression: velvety entry, fine acidity, and a midpalate that explodes with cloudberry, mulberry, and black cherry, all laced with violet and a peppery savory edge. A wine of real refinement that will reward two decades in the cellar.
