Clos de la Roche Benjamin Leroux 2016 is a Grand Cru red wine from Morey-Saint-Denis. The wine reflects the vineyard’s depth and structure, showing dark cherry, plum and gentle spice over a subtle earthy base. Tannins are firm but finely textured, giving shape to the ripe fruit without heaviness. Acidity provides clarity through the mid-palate, emphasising the wine’s mineral edge and freshness. Ageing has brought integration rather than softness, and in magnum the wine retains focus, promising further refinement with time.

The 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru was much more muted on the nose compared to the Clos Saint-Denis . This is a little withdrawn at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, quite firm in the mouth, a more masculine wine compared to the Clos Saint-Denis but without the same finesse. A bit like Dujac, this is a pair where I prefer the Clos that replies to the name Denis. - Neal Martin
Vinous
Bright, dark red. Medicinal red cherry and pungent chalky minerality on the nose. Wonderfully silky and juicy on entry, then precise and sharply delineated in the middle palate, with the sappy red cherry and wild herb flavors given added punch by crushed-stone minerality. Really stunning perfume and lift in the mouth. Finishes with terrific energy and subtle rising length. This and the Bonnes-Mares weigh in at about 13.5% alcohol, the highest among this outstanding set of 2016s. Stephen Tanzer1st January 2018
