Clos de la Roche is one of Morey-Saint-Denis` four grand cru sites, covering 16.9 hectares of Pinot Noir vines. Wine producers with major holdings in the vineyard include Domaine Ponsot, Domaine Dujac, and Domaine Armand Rousseau, which acquired two parcels here, one in 1920-1921 and the other in 1975. The wines tend to be mineral and vibrant, long and consistent.
Vinous
The 2010 Clos de la Roche is fascinating to taste after the Mazis. The Clos de la Roche is all about power, structure and length, qualities it has in spades. There is huge depth and serious extract to the fruit, with equally big tannins to provide support. Layers of intense fruit are intermingled with persistent saline notes on the vibrant, finely chiseled finish. It will take years for the tannins to start melting away, but when they do the 2010 will be a dazzling wine. Actually, it already is.
