Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche 2011 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from one of the great names of Burgundy winemaking. Clos de la Roche is the most northerly of the four Grands Crus of Morey-Saint-Denis and produces nuanced, mineral-laden Pinot Noirs which are among the most sought-after in the world. "Knockout nose combines dark berries, liquorice, spices, violet, game and pepper, plus a whiff of caramel. Sweet, sappy and concentrated, with excellent spicy lift to the flavours of blueberry and black cherry. Mounts impressively on the chewy, tactile back end." Vinous, 2014
