The 2014 Domaine Jerome Castagnier Clos St Denis Pinot Noir from Burgundy is a noteworthy example of its varietal and region. This wine hails from the esteemed Cote de Nuits sub-region, specifically the Morey St Denis appellation, known for producing some of the most sought-after Pinot Noirs in the world. Domaine Jerome Castagnier, the producer, has crafted a wine that embodies the elegance and complexity typical of this area.

Jasper Morris, writing for Inside Burgundy, awarded this wine an impressive score of 95. He describes the wine as having a "fine bright medium deep red" color, indicative of its vibrant nature. The wine showcases a concentration of dark raspberry fruit, complemented by hints of crushed strawberry. Morris notes that while the wine has some fruit concentration, it is made leaner by a touch of reduction, adding to its complexity.

The wine is described as "quite tightly knit" with a balance between ripeness and elegance. The oak presence is noted, yet it does not overpower or dry out the fruit, allowing the wine's inherent characteristics to shine through. This suggests a well-integrated use of oak that enhances rather than detracts from the wine's profile. Additionally, Morris highlights the wine's appreciable length, indicating a lasting finish that lingers on the palate.

With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this Pinot Noir maintains a classic balance, typical of the region's wines, without veering into overly high or low alcohol territory. The wine is sealed with a cork closure, in keeping with traditional practices.

Overall, the 2014 Domaine Jerome Castagnier Clos St Denis Pinot Noir is a well-crafted wine that reflects the quality and terroir of its origin. Its high score and praise from a respected reviewer underscore its excellence and appeal to Pinot Noir enthusiasts.
