Wine Advocate (94-97)The 2009 Clos de la Roche Cuvee Vieilles Vignes is round, sweet and totally enveloping. It is a huge, towering Burgundy that impresses for its gorgeous inner perfume and juicy, exuberant fruit. This shows tons of richness without being heavy or overripe in any way. Anticipated maturity: 2029-2049. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru offers more red fruit than the Bonnes-Mares, although at the moment this does not quite deliver the same nuance and comeliness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, quite linear and strict (especially for this vineyard), but with a welcome pinch of white pepper and sage towards the persistent finish. Afford it several years in bottle. |

Vinous (93+)Dark, deep, bright red. Very closed, brooding nose suggests cassis and black cherry. Then surprisingly silky and seamless on the palate, with lovely inner-mouth energy and saline minerality to the red fruit and floral flavors. Really mounts in sweetness on the tactile, expansive peacock's tail of a finish without any loss of shape. In fact, this beauty tightened up with a day in the refrigerator. |
