The Story

Located on the village of Morey-Saint-Denis, it is a hard calcareoussoil, with a depth of barely 30 cm of soil and big stones which gives it its name. Clos de la Roche has the power and the richness of Morey-Saint Denis. Very expressive wine. Beautiful and elegant complexity.

2002 VINTAGE in Burgundy

Written Notes

A 2002 Rousseau Clos de la Roche was a nice re-introduction to one of Rousseau’s forgotten Grand Crus. Some cereal and celery aromas weaved their way through its roasted nose. There was some classic Burgundy fruit on its palate, intense with its backside and bright with that signature 2002 acid, all in balance. 2002 remains the forgotten great vintage between 1999 and 2005. Thanks to Eric for reminding us all with his bottle (93).

Medium dark cherry red color; focused, ripe berry, ripe currant nose; tight, ripe currant, wild berry, violet, red berry palate; needs still 4-5 years; medium-plus finish 93+ points

  • 93p
Bright ruby. Slightly herbal, somewhat unripe strawberries. If lean and fruity, it feels scented. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, leanish fruit, fragrant and slightly up front, but lacks complexity and refinement. Good length.
