M. Chapoutier : Le Clos 2023

Using grapes from the same name lieu-dit, the outstanding 2023 Saint-Joseph Le Clos initially offers pronounced blood orange, forest strawberry, black cherry and leafy tones, accentuated by fleshy scents. Medium to full-bodied, highly energetic and utterly refined, the 2023 is a gorgeous Le Clos, doubling down with fresh verve on the long, expansive final.
