Domaine Gagey Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru 2022

The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru contains 30% stems this year, which is translated onto the nose distinct from Jadot's other reds: cracked black pepper and damp earth infuse the red fruit and lend the complexity underlying their inclusion. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip and much more depth than the previous vintage, with a slightly powdery/chalky finish. There's plenty of energy and tension from start to finish; this should age in consummate style. Drinking window: 2026-2050. Score - 94-96.
