Domaine Bertagna Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2016

Wines from Burgundy’s stunning Saint-Denis are often overlooked in favour of other more famous names. But you'll be massively rewarded for venturing away from the well-trod paths here – from a top Grand Cru site and a historic family cellar.Since taking over the domaine in 1982, the Gunther Reh family have worked tirelessly to modernise the Bertagna vineyards, ensuring that the best possible quality can be achieved in every grape”St-Denis … embodies all that is best about Burgundy's individuality” – Decanter Magazine2016 is a year to stock your cellar with in Burgundy. A year that described by Jancis Robinson MW as “a seriously delicious” vintage in Burgundy, especially for the top sites. At 3 years old, this stunning red is just starting to unfurl, but will benefit from 5-10 years further ageing. Violets, dark reds fruits and spice on the nose, with an uplifting minerality. Black cherries and prune greet you on your first sip, leading to warmer, earthier notes. Will open up to greater depths after 5-10 years ageing.
