Vintage Character The 2021 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru from Michel Magnien is a striking expression of this prestigious Burgundy terroir, celebrated for producing Pinot Noir of exceptional finesse and minerality. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a challenging spring frost and a relatively mild, sunny summer, resulting in wines of classical elegance, vibrant acidity, and remarkable aromatic purity—qualities that have made this vintage especially sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 93 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru reveals alluring aromas of wild cherry, rose petal, and subtle forest floor, complemented by delicate notes of spice and graphite. The palate is defined by silky tannins and a precise, harmonious structure, with layers of red berry, plum, and a gentle earthiness that lead into a persistent, mineral-driven finish. Its refined balance and complexity make it an excellent companion for dishes such as roast duck breast, creamy mushroom risotto, or a selection of aged French cheeses like Comté.
