The 2016 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru, of which there is just over three barrels, has a very crisp and poised blackberry, briary and pressed flower-scented bouquet that unfolds in the glass, revealing lovely mineral tones with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with stemmy notes on the entry (there is some whole bunch here) but there is great freshness and vitality on the finish. This works much better than the Charmes-Chambertin barrel sample, demonstrating more cohesion and finesse.

The 2015 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with layers of blackberry, raspberry preserve and undergrowth aromas, very well delineated and gaining intensity in the glass with every swirl. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black cherry and cassis fruit. The tannins feel very fine, imparting a sense of symmetry, whilst the graphite edge on the finish lends tension and edginess. There is plenty of energy in situ, completing an excellent Clos Saint-Denis. This is definitely the pick of Amiot-Servelle's 2015s - a serious yet very promising Clos Saint-Denis.

The 2014 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a little more lift and intensity than the Charmes-Chambertin at the moment, with black cherries and a touch of blueberry, veering towards Clos de la Roche in style. The palate is well structured, quite grippy in the mouth and backward at the moment, but the pastille-like purity towards the finish is already evident. I also tasted this from used barrels, a little more fleshy and supple in the mouth with a touch of spiciness towards the finish. This is a supremely well crafted Clos Saint-Denis, though it does not quite possess the irresistible charm of the Amoureuses.

The 2013 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry and boysenberry fruit, less expressive than the Charmes-Chambertin ’11 but with fine delineation and focus. The palate is very structured with fine, succulent tannins and a keen silver thread of acidity. There is real density to the Clos Saint Denis, a symmetrical structure and a lovely dash of white pepper on the spicy finish. It deserves several years of aging. Superb.
