The Story

Of all the villages of the Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis is one of the most fruitful in terms of the number of its Grands Crus. The Clos de Tart, which remains a solely-held entity, was founded by the Cistercians of Tart in 1141. Since that date, it has been owned by only three families. The Clos Saint-Denis came on the scene in the 11th century, thanks to the fortress of Vergy. The Clos de la Roche and Clos des Lambrays are both semi-monop...

Vintage 2014

The 2014 vintage in Burgundy was a very complicated one, although less so than those in 2013, 2012 and 2011, which featured dramatic crop shortages due to shatter, bad fruit sets and hailstorms.

Written Notes

Clos de la Roche 2014 – A cross section of vineyards used here, from this Grand Cru appellation. 75% new oak. Offers some earthy notes with spices, especially cinnamon and mustard seeds. Smoky warm earth, dry herbs and a truffly note. A hint of creamy coffee. A wine with power and weight. This has good balance but there is coiled power that one expects to burst forth at some stage. Good acidity, fine tannins, even if they are a little granitic. Has both length and complexity. Jeremy Seysses prefers this to his Clos Saint Denis from 2014, but for me, the extra finesse gave it to that wine. 94.
