Presentation of the vintage:

As is often the case in Burgundy, Le Clos de la Roche takes its name from its highly calcareous terroir. The soil consists of only 30 centimeters of soil, few pebbles, and large boulders.

With 17 hectares (16.89 to be exact) for an annual production of around 84,000 bottles, it is the largest clos in Morey-Saint-Denis.

Despite its size, it is considered one of the best climates in Morey-Saint-Denis and produces fleshy, structured wines with cherry and truffle characters.
