📜 Clos de la Roche
The largest red grand cru of the village of Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy.
Clos de la Roche is the largest red grand cru of the village of Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy. It lies on a slope of the Côte de Nuits, in the most famous red part of the region. The name means "walled plot on rock" and hints at the stony soil.
The wine is made from Pinot Noir. It is a still red wine, usually rich and structured, with notes of dark cherry, spice and earth. With age, notes of mushroom and forest floor appear. It ages well, and bottles are often kept for many years.
The name is protected as a PDO, a protected designation of origin. The plot is divided among many owners, so the market holds many different wines under one name. The style depends on the producer: some make a firm, dense wine, others a more elegant one.
Clos de la Roche is tied to the Côte de Nuits and is among the grands crus of Burgundy. As in all of Burgundy, what matters most is the place where the vine grew.
