The 2021 Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is a rare and highly sought-after Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. Produced by this small family estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, the wine captures the remarkable balance of power, finesse and aromatic complexity that has made Clos Saint-Denis one of the region’s most revered terroirs.
The nose is intensely perfumed, revealing aromas of wild raspberry, black cherry and red currant alongside notes of rose petal, violet, exotic spice and subtle forest floor nuances. On the palate, it is concentrated yet remarkably elegant, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and exceptional purity of fruit. Layers of red and dark berries unfold alongside mineral and savoury complexity, leading to a long, seamless and finely detailed finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a wine of precision, elegance and longevity. Its refined structure makes it a superb match for roast duck, game birds, beef Wellington or truffle-infused mushroom dishes. While captivating with careful decanting today, this wine has the pedigree to evolve beautifully over the next 15–25 years.
