Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru: Charlopin's Masterpiece

The CHARLOPIN CLOS SAINT DENIS ROUGE from Domaine Philippe Charlopin-Parizot is a quintessential Grand Cru Red Burgundy. Situated in the heart of Morey-Saint-Denis, this vineyard is famed for producing Pinot Noir of supreme, almost 'Mozartian' elegance and complexity. It’s a wine that speaks of its noble origins with every nuanced sip.

Domaine Charlopin-Parizot applies a meticulous approach to this rare parcel, resulting in a wine built for the long haul. This is a must-have for any serious collector of fine Burgundy, offering a profound tasting experience that only decades of cellar ageing can unlock.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, intense ruby hue, developing into rich garnet tones with age.
• Aroma: A complex and seductive bouquet of dark berries (blackcurrant, blackberry) and violets, leading to intriguing secondary notes of gingerbread, musk, and the classic tertiary hints of undergrowth and truffle after maturation.
• Taste: Harmonious and beautifully balanced on the palate. It is structured, yet the tannins are exceptionally fine and silky, offering a round, delicate mouthfeel and an incredibly long, persistent finish. A truly ethereal Grand Cru.

Food Pairing & Service

Serve this Grand Cru with equally refined cuisine.

• Serving Temperature: 15-16°C (59-61°F). Decanting is recommended for younger bottles.
• Pairings: Excellent with feathered game like Roast Grouse or Pheasant, a classic Beef Wellington, or high-quality, mature Ribeye Steak. Pairs perfectly with strong, washed-rind cheeses such as Époisses de Bourgogne.
