The 2015 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, the first vineyard that Philippe purchased back in 1983, includes 30% whole bunch fruit this year, and it took a few minutes to really unfold in the glass. Fortunately it repaid patience with attractive mulberry and blackberry scents infused with cold stone and blood orange notes that are very detailed. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, cohesive with a bold and structured, saline finish. I like the persistence here although it will need several years to really reach its drinking plateau.
