Note di degustazione
The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a pastille-like purity on the nose, but not quite the complexity and focus of its peers. Lush strawberry and raspberry coulis scents are backed by hints of blueberry and violet. The richness bestowed by the growing season seems to usurp terroir expression in this instance. The glossy palate is medium-bodied and satiny in texture, with supple tannin and some quality new oak splashed all over, but perhaps that is masking a lack of complexity and terroir expression on the prune-tinged finish. Time will tell. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru consists of 4.5 barrels this year, two of them new. It has a very elegant bouquet with bountiful red cherry, strawberry and pomegranate scents that are neatly knitted together and gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with black and red fruit, tangy marmalade and quince, a pleasant saline note and plenty of white pepper towards the finish. While it does not quite possess the harmony and complexity of Remy's Latricières-Chambertin this year, it should give a decade's worth of drinking pleasure.
