The 2012 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has a very fragrant, perfumed bouquet with brambly black fruit, cold stone and perhaps a tincture of black olive. The definition is fine – worthy of a grand cru like this. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp, surprisingly sharp opening, the acidity higher than I was expecting, although that lends it fine tension and focus. It is just missing a little complexity and nuance toward the chalky, saline finish, although that might develop in bottle.

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
