Offering ripe, plummy fruit, this red also reveals sandalwood, spice, mineral and subtle coconut aromas and flavors. Fresh and well-built, with a sense of elegance and power. Seems a little awkward now, but the finish is long. Be patient. Best from 2023 through 2045. 183 cases made, 70 cases imported.

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.

Burghound

The nose makes clear that this '15 Clos de la Roche remains a very young wine as there is virtually no secondary character to the sauvage-suffused nose offering up an array of various dark berries, leather, earth, floral and soft underbrush scents. The energetic and beautifully well-detailed medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the suave yet muscular finish that exhibits focused power and excellent persistence. This still very firm and compact effort is indisputably very much still on the way up and a wine that's going to require another 8 to 10 years before it will reach its peak. Impressive.

Decanter

Rich, powerful red fruit and cherry nose, showing aromatic force and not overly dense. Rich and full-bodied, quite powerful without being overbearing, with firm tannins beneath the broad fruit. Structured, spicy, exuberant, and very long.

Vinous Media

The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a clean, very pure bouquet, bright red cherries commingling with freshly picked strawberries, laced with candied orange peel and just a dab of liquorice. It gains in intensity with aeration. The palate is lively and fresh on the entry, vivacious in style, impressive delineation (à la '16) with tangible mineralité flooding through towards the finish. Again, Rousseau's signature tenderness defines that finish as it lingers in the mouth. Wonderful.

Wine Advocate

The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is excellent, opening in the glass with a complex bouquet of red and black cherry, plum preserve, grilled meat, dried ceps and espresso roast, framed by a judicious application of cedary oak (20% new). On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and firmly framed, with unusual depth and concentration for this cuvée, its ample chassis of tannins asserting itself on the firm finish.

Winery Notes

It is a minerally, complex, and powerful wine, with an abundance of red berry fruit aromas with a hint of thyme and mint. In the mouth, the wine shows true elegance, with spicy, smooth tannins and a hint of tobacco. A long finish with a great consistency and a certain firmness rounds out this incredible wine.
