Vinous

The 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet, more complex than the Clos des Lambrays and again demonstrating clever use of whole cluster that is proportional to the fruit. Fine delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with filigree tannins. Lightly peppered, tensile with a linear and quite saline/black tea-infused finish, this retains the classical style of the reds in this vintage and conveys a sense of class. Recommended. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. 09/2025

Inside Burgundy

A full crimson colour. Darker berries, some spice, definitely a coffee note. Complex and with charm. Made with a light enough hand but not interfering with intensity. Beautifully poised, the stems do very slightly dry the finish but there is concentration and intensity here, and the fruit will grow with time to cover the stem structure. Getting grander in the glass, this may be a conservative rating. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Sep 2025.

More brooding than the Clos Saint-Denis, Dujac's 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, sweet forest floor and baking spices. Full-bodied, layered and muscular, with impressive concentration and a long, rose-inflected finish, it's another of the range's high-points. 01/2023
