Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 08 Oct 25
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.

More brooding than the Clos Saint-Denis, Dujac's 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, sweet forest floor and baking spices. Full-bodied, layered and muscular, with impressive concentration and a long, rose-inflected finish, it's another of the range's high-points.

1.97 hectares (4.87 acres). Les Froichots, Les Fremières, 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)
