DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU, Clos de la Roche

Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche

Rousseau's holding in Morey-Saint-Denis rather than Gevrey gives Clos de la Roche a slightly different register — more mineral, more translucent — but the winemaking signature is unmistakable. One of the Côte de Nuits' most complex and cellar-worthy grand crus, it sits in a rarefied tier occupied by very few wines. The combination of Rousseau's terroir sensitivity and Clos de la Roche's inherent complexity makes this one of Burgundy's most thrilling bottles.
