Domaine Dujac's Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2022 is a highly anticipated wine from one of Burgundy's most prestigious producers.
Clos Saint-Denis is one of the grand cru vineyards located in the Côte de Nuits, adjacent to Morey-Saint-Denis. The vineyard is known for its rich, complex Pinot Noir wines.
The 2022 growing season in Burgundy was warm and relatively dry, leading to ripe, concentrated fruit. For Pinot Noir, this often means wines with rich fruit flavors, firm structure, and a deep color.
Expect complex aromas of dark berries, such as black cherry and blackberry, along with notes of spice, earth, and perhaps hints of floral and herbal nuances.
The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis will likely offer a full-bodied, rich texture with flavors of ripe red and dark fruit, integrated tannins, and a touch of oak. You might find layers of flavor including cocoa, leather, and subtle earthy notes.
The finish should be long and persistent, with a balanced acidity that complements the wine’s richness.
As a Grand Cru from Domaine Dujac, this wine has excellent aging potential. It can be enjoyed in its youth for its vibrant fruit and freshness, but it will also benefit from several years of cellaring, potentially developing more complexity and depth over the next 10-20 years.
