Clos de la Roche: A Burgundian grand cru for those in the know


Clos de la Roche.

Clos de la Roche is the largest grand cru in the Côte de Nuits’ Morey-St-Denis, producing sumptuous and ageworthy wines that easily last 50 years in the cellar.

Despite its enviable location and undisputed quality, Clos de la Roche sometimes lacks the star power of the grands crus of Gevrey-Chambertin to the north or Chambolle-Musigny to the south.

With more than 20 proprietors, Clos de la Roche doesn’t have the cohesive, consistent image of Morey monopole Clos de Tart, or near-monopole Clos des Lambrays.

But for the astute wine lover who takes the time to understand this vineyard, there are some wonderful wines to discover.
