The 2020 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru is more reduced on the nose, slightly darker fruit than the Clos Saint-Denis; hints of kirsch and orange rind emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a "stout" Grand Cru, solid with blackberry laced with graphite towards the finish. I can see this closing down for a few years so have a cellar handy. 11/2022

Inside Burgundy

Dark purple, with a mass of ripe but perfectly balanced dark raspberry fruit. To some extent there are more grainy tannins in the Clos de la Roche compared to its twin Clos St-Denis, but the fruit will easily outlast these. A touch of coconut. Long and fine. 78% whole bunch vinification. Drink from 2030-2045. Tasted Nov 2022.

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries and plums mingled with spices, sweet soils tones, vine smoke and petals, Dujac's 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a pure, vibrant core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. Serious and structured, though it's far from austere, this will richly reward patience. 01/2023
