91-93 pts - The Wine Advocate (Neal Martin)
The 2014 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru comes from the domaine's single parcel of vine that has been pruned Cordon-Royat for more than ten years to increase the concentration. Matured in 50% new oak, I was seeking just a little more personality to come through on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, the new oak needing the rest of its élevage to be fully subsumed with a pleasant salinity on the finish. Hopefully it will muster a touch of more joie-de-vivre and tension, because this has impressive substance and focus. Drink 2018 – 2035.
