Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru

Located north of the village of Morey-Saint-Denis and adjacent to Gevrey-Chambertin, "Clos de la Roche" sits on the slope's rocky limestone ridge, which gives it its name. At altitudes of between 250 and 300 m, this is the largest Grand Cru walled vineyard in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis.

Tasting

Rich and well balanced on the palate, this wine boasts impressive structure and crisp fruit, extending to an intense finish that is redolent of jammy, spicy notes.
