2021 Marchand & Burch Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

The 2021 Clos de la Roche reflects a growing season where unfortunate frost events deprived us of expected quantities of fruit, but the vineyard compensated by ripening a smaller crop of exquisite concentration and balance, allowing the winemakers to exert minimal influence to truly convey the terroir into bottle. The young wine displays only hints of its future grandeur but is already incredibly supple on the palate, with a sublime oak integration. An array of plush red and darker fruits with undercurrents of anise, clove, white pepper and enlivens the nose and these typical vineyard characters flow across the palate and reverberate with great persistence. A wine that is unmistakeably Grand Cru, Morey-Saint-Denis and can be nothing else but Clos de la Roche, it has a long window to provide pleasure to its privileged custodians.
