CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet, more complex than the Clos des Lambrays and again demonstrating clever use of whole cluster that is proportional to the fruit. Fine delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with filigree tannins. Lightly peppered, tensile with a linear and quite saline/black tea-infused finish, this retains the classical style of the reds in this vintage and conveys a sense of class. Recommended. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

1.97 hectares (4.87 acres). Les Froichots, Les Fremieres, Monts Luisants, Les Chabiots and Clos de la Roche. 70% new oak. Cask sample.Deep-mid ruby. Ah, here is the intensity of fruit: sweet raspberry, black cherry and cassis. There s much more volume here and the tannins and structure are much better integrated. Excellent length with lots going on. (MH)
