Located at the northern end of Morey-Saint-Denis, very close to the border with Gevrey.
The geological layers of Burgundy are responsible for outcroppings of white chalk that can sometimes be seen at the surface. This is perhaps the origin of the name (Enclosure of the Rock), unless the ‘roche’ refers to a Druidic dolmen raised here at the time of the Celts.
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
‘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’.
Cellar 5-15 years.
