The 2023 Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is an exceptional Pinot Noir from the prestigious Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy. Produced by the family-run Domaine Henri & Philippe Jouan, this rare wine comes from old vines, some over 70 years of age, delivering remarkable concentration while retaining the finesse that defines this celebrated Grand Cru. The nose reveals aromas of red plum, black cherry and wild raspberry, layered with violet, warm spice and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully refined, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive depth. Flavours of ripe red and dark berries, forest floor and gentle oak spice unfold with precision, supported by a fine mineral backbone that leads to a long, elegant finish. The wine balances richness with freshness, promising outstanding development with careful cellaring.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and lovers of classic Pinot Noir. Pair it with roast duck, venison, beef Wellington or wild mushroom dishes. While approachable with careful decanting, it will reward patience in the cellar, with an ideal drinking window from 2030–2050.
