As I noted last year, the Gagey family’s parcel of Clos St. Denis is planted with eighty-one year-old vines and this is consistently one of the great sleepers amongst the cornucopia of Côte de Nuits grand crus in the Jadot cellars. The 2011 is stunning, offering up a refined and very pure bouquet of cherries, blood orange, cocoa powder, a touch of nutskin, a profoundly complex base of soil, cloves and a deft framing of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and brilliantly complex, with excellent mid-palate depth, ripe tannins and superb focus and grip on the very, very long, elegant and dancing finish. Once again, Maison Jadot has crafted a beautiful example of Clos St. Denis. (Drink between 2022-2060) 94+ - JG

"Bright medium red. Spicy, youthfully imploded nose hints at raspberry, rose petal and gingerbread; classic Clos Saint-Denis. Juicy, spicy and intense in the mouth, with terrific tension and cut to the flavors of sweet red berries and minerals."
