Clos Saint-Denis

Clos Saint-Denis is a 6.62-hectare Grand Cru that gave its name to the village of Morey in 1927, when the commune appended 'Saint-Denis' to its name to capitalise on the appellation's reputation — one of the few cases in Burgundy where a village renamed itself after a Grand Cru. The climat occupies a mid-slope position to the north of Clos de la Roche, with similar thin limestone and marl soils but a slightly different aspect that produces wines of somewhat greater aromatic elegance and earlier approachability. Domaine Dujac holds the largest parcel (1.72 ha) and produces the most celebrated and sought-after expression — a whole-cluster, aromatic interpretation that is often described as one of the most 'Chambolle-like' wines in Morey. Domaine Bertagna, Domaine Charlopin, and Domaine Ponsot contribute further expressions of varying character. Leroy's small holding here, as elsewhere in the Côte de Nuits, commands exceptional prices at auction.
