Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 93
The 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru comes from vines planted in 1933 and 1954, though remarkably, Sebastien told me that one parcel was a fruit orchard as late as 1964. The classy bouquet of mineral-rich red berry fruit, graphite and undergrowth aromas reveals just a hint of morels in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, a very elegant, refined style and a linear finish. Understated and classy.
