Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Reviews

Beautiful violet and black-cherry nose. A gentle giant that has a radical mineral and tannin structure, but also wonderful elegance, the finishing washing over you in waves that echo down the valleys. Great aging potential. Drink or hold.

Super-dark and intense but also very pure and vibrant. There is deep, brooding power in the background, which shows what this wine is capable of when everything goes right. This needs a lot of time to give its best, but the balance is so beautiful that you could drink it on release.

Aromas of smoked meat and spice give way to black cherry, earth and stony mineral flavors in this dense, powerful red. The tannins are dominant for now, but there is freshness and a long, complex finish that reveals promise for the future.
