2024 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, Domaine Des Chézeaux

With the vines just an effortless cover drive away from their century, this wine plays the ultimate cameo role in the domaine’s first full release. 2024 will be witness to both its first and last vintage under Charles’ care, as he pulled up the vines shortly after harvest, thanks to their yields becoming the opposite of prolific. Our allocation of this will come from just the single barrel Charles has made and therefore we have asked Charles to bottle the UK’s part in magnums only. This is wonderfully intense with spice, black cherry, stone and briar all fighting for attention. The tannins are svelte, and the phenolic ripeness and depth of flavour is jaw-dropping. It’s a shame that we won’t see this wine again for a while, but what a way to bow out. Drink from 2034
