The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru took a while to open in the glass, which is unusual because I often find it relatively immediate. It is understated, again, very pure and charming with crushed strawberry, raspberry preserve and rose petal, sous-bois scents (pine cone and freshly tilled soil) surfacing with continued aeration. The palate is grainy on the entry with a tang of orange rind, tight at first but opening up towards the finish with a good grip, albeit without quite the precision of the Mazy-Chambertin at the moment.

(from a 1.48 ha holding, 1 ha of which is in Les Fremières and the rest in Clos de la Roche proper; 20% new wood in 2015). A discreet lashing of wood easily allows the equally sauvage-suffused nose to display its array of various dark berries, earth, floral and soft underbrush scents. The energetic and beautifully well-detailed medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the muscular finish that exhibits focused power and excellent persistence. This is one of those relatively rare wines that will age effortlessly for years yet should be enjoyable the entire way. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com

The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is excellent, opening in the glass with a complex bouquet of red and black cherry, plum preserve, grilled meat, dried ceps and espresso roast, framed by a judicious application of cedary oak (20% new). On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and firmly framed, with unusual depth and concentration for this cuvee, its ample chassis of tannins asserting itself on the firm finish.
