Clos Saint-Martin Grand Cru Classé 2020

Jeb Dunnuck: "I continue to love the wines from this estate, and the 2020 Clos Saint-Martin doesn't disappoint. Lots of red fruits, spice, loamy soil, camphor, and tobacco notes define the nose, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, building tannins, and just a concentrated, balanced, beautifully layered mouthfeel. It's quite tannic, so don't plan on opening bottles right out of the gate, and a solid 4-5 years of bottle age are warranted." (93-95)+

Neal Martin: "The 2020 Clos Saint-Martin has an extravagant, decadent bouquet of blueberry, crème de cassis, wild hawthorn and hints of raisin, although I don’t find it overripe, just a little ostentatious. The palate is marked by succulent tannins that frame the precocious black cherry and wild strawberry fruit, and blessed with a disarming satiny texture and impressive precision toward the finish. Certainly one of the most hedonistic offerings in 2020, though it just about manages to pull it off. Tasted twice with consistent notes." (91-93)
