Description

2018 Domaine Castagnier Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru [JM96][V94]Producer: Domaine Castagnier Region: Morey Saint Denis, Cote de Nuits,Burgundy, France Varietal: Pinot Noir Year: 2018 Jasper Morris, 96 Points "A rich youthful somewhat saturated purple. There is a great intensity on the nose, but also a hint of something wilder. This wine has huge body to it and the wildness does not start to get out of bounds. Its a very dark fruit but manages to stay lively. Very long lusty aftertaste." Vinous, 94 Points "The 2018

finishing bittersweet

this wine is like a graceful dancer in a dramatic scene

the wine already has good balance

With good weight on the palate

Each agave is cut

Flavors of red apple tart with bright acid wrapped in yeasty creaminess

the wine was certainly not a second wine and always came from the same parcels (and more iron-rich soils) and is a very different wine compared to the Cabernet Sauvignon release

food-friendly acid and subtle textural notes from the French oak and sur lie aging

Much like the Butteaux

to express a bouquet of white flowers

not so much nose as yet but an excellent strict structure

Finish: bold and lingering
