Notes of rich berry fruit, plum compote, orange rind and toasty oak introduce the 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, rich and muscular wine that's let down by a rather ephemeral finish.

The 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a beguiling bouquet of pure dark cherry and violet aromas, quite mineral-driven and wonderfully delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine grip, and touches of graphite and white pepper toward the sustained finish. This feels cohesive and long, and it should age with style for 20-30 years.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
