Tasting notes
The 2013 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a more complete and harmonious bouquet than the Clos Saint Denis '13 at the moment, with attractive undergrowth scents, bay leaf and a sprig of thyme. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin and fine structures. Indeed, this is a more masculine Clos de la Roche. It is poised though reticent on the finish and will reward those who cellar for at least 4 or 5 years.

Bright full red. Aromas of black fruits, violet, crushed rock, licorice and dark spices suggest a muscular wine. Then densely packed, classically dry and intense, with the purple fruit, mineral, violet and mint flavors complicated by soil-driven salinity. Finishes tactile and very long but youthfully backward.
