Albert Bichot, Clos de la Roche, Grand Cru 2015

“The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a focused, quite reserved bouquet that seems to temper the precocity of the growing season and allow the stony terroir to filter through the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and extremely fine tannin, just the right amount of salinity with an edgy and vibrant, feminine finish. This is a graceful Clos de la Roche from Bichot that should age with style.”-(92-94)WA, 2020-2040

Located north of the village of Morey-Saint-Denis and adjacent to Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche is located on the rocky limestone ridge of the slope, hence its name (“roche” means rock in French). With an altitude of between 250 and 300 meters, this is the biggest Grand Cru vineyard in the village of Morey-Saint-Denis.
