Clos de la Roche Grand Cru — The Perfect Balance of Power and Elegance

Nestled in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, within the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru stands among the most prestigious vineyards in Burgundy. Covering 17 hectares — the largest Grand Cru in the village — it benefits from exceptional limestone marl soils and an ideal eastern exposure, producing grapes of remarkable ripeness, balance and depth.

Terroir and Grape Variety
