Neal Martin, December 2020, Score: 95-97
The 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, which was fully destemmed, comprises two barrels this year. It has a succinct bouquet that takes time to unfold, revealing exquisitely defined red berry fruit, crushed iris petals and touches of cassis with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins that lend this Grand Cru an irresistible cashmere texture, and a pinch of white pepper lingers on the aftertaste. Superb. 2025-2040

Jasper Morris MW, December 2020, Score: 94-97
Much deeper denser colour than the Clos St-Denis, and a much less hedonistic nose, which conforms to their respective appellations, but this is so good! There’s a depth and density here. Much more restrained, but even finer, though possibly not quite the same quality of finish. 4 stars

Region
Clos de la Roche
The finest and biggest Grand Cru red wine appellation in Burgundy's Morey-St-Denis, on the Côte deNuits, covering 16.9ha. Clos de la Roche's soils are rich in marl which gives more body, depth and ageing potential to its wines than most other vineyards. Wines from Clos de la Roche tend to be powerful and full bodied with black fruit aromas and flavours, developing rich, gamey characters with age.
