The 2014 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has a very refined bouquet, initially timid but then gaining intensity in the glass with blackberry, earthy tones and fine underlying minerality. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip, very intense black cherry fruit and is more detailed on the finish than the Clos Saint Denis. There is an abiding sense of sophistication here, a wine that will ultimately and justifiably demand respect.
