"The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has abundant red fruit on a pure, seductive nose whose aromas coil themselves around your senses and whisk you all the way to Burgundy. The precise, medium-bodied palate offers sappy red berry fruit, perfectly judged acidity and a pure, rounded, caressing finish that might just benefit from a little more tension. Maybe that lack of bite knocks off a point or two, but otherwise, impressive and delicious. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
