Tasting notes
The 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Cuvée MCMLV is a striking young wine in the making, unwinding in the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums, black truffle, smoked meats, loamy soil, peonies and caramelized orange rind. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep and serious, with ample reserves of fine, powdery tannins and a lively girdle of acidity. Long and penetrating, this cuvée derives from very old vines in Monts Luisants.

The 2019 Clos de La Roche Grand Cru comes from the plot of vines planted by massale selection in 1955 that tends to produce tiny millerandé berries. Cropped at 18hl/ha it has a sublime bouquet with wonderful delineation, perhaps more floral than the regular cuvée, extremely well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, an unerring sense of symmetry with a very harmonious, satin-textured finish that is so caressing. Interestingly, this comes in at 13.6° alcohol whilst the regular cuvée is 14.2°. This is a stunning snow-capped peak of the 2019 vintage.
