2001 Joseph Drouhin 'Clos de la Roche' Grand Cru

Joseph Druohin's Clos de la Roche is located at the northern end of Morey-Saint-Denis, very close to the border with Gevrey. Grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded. Whole crop harvest of 20 to 50% depending on the vintage. In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by punching of the cap and pumping-over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting. Aged in 30% new barrels for 16 to 20 months.

"A sumptuous wine ! The colour is a beautiful deep ruby. The nose is complex and brings to mind black cherries, with subtle notes of musk and cigar. The tannins seem coated by the velvety texture of the wine. The length of the aftertaste is exceptional: note of spices and candied fruit linger forever in the mouth. This wine gives a marvelous sensation of harmony and plenitude, (from the winery)".
