2012 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru Domaine Stephane Magnien (Case - 12/75cl)

Stephane Magnien's 2012 Clos Saint Denis, Grand Cru is made from 100% Pinot Noir whose vines date back to the early 1970's. The famous terroir here, comprised of predominately limestone, allows for the vines to yield grapes of millerandes (small concentrated berries) due to the perfect amount of vine stress. Once vinified the juice is aged for 12 months is oak barrels (10% new oak) followed by 3 months is steel tanks. In 2012 the resulting wine is one which is characterised by elegance, finesse, complexity and concentration. A winning combination.
