2022 Marchand & Burch Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

Back to Results

This vineyard is one of the most revered sites in Bourgogne, and responsible for some compelling and highly coveted Pinot Noir.  Roche means rock in French, it’s easy to see large stones strewn on the vineyard surface, and the subsoil can be equally rocky and unforgiving, forcing vine roots to work hard to establish themselves, with this struggle producing fruit with unique concentration.  Wine from Clos de la Roche will transform over decades in bottle from young powerhouses with explosive fruit character and exotic spicy undertones into entrancing examples of elegant, focused, mineral, incredibly desirable Pinot Noirs to admire and treasure.  We are lucky to have this access with Pascal Marchand to one of the world’s greatest vineyards.
