"This Cuvée is composed from the following plot: Les Froichots. In 1991, Clos de la Roche was the second CÎte de Nuits vineyard to be acquired by the Hospices, the first having been Mazis-Chambertin, in 1976. A donation from M. & Mme. Cyrot-Chaudron allowed the purchase of rows of vines at the heart of the gently sloping Grand Cru hillside between Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin. Because of the rarity and beauty of this wine, it is regularly one of the most fiercely contested Cuvées."
