The 2021 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has a slightly reticent nose at first, unfurling with white-tipped strawberry, cranberry jus and crushed stone aromas that become more vocal with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, fine acidity, fresh but unapologetically strict on the finish. This will need several years in bottle, but is very promising.
94-96 points, Neal Martin, Vinous (Jan 2023)
Another charming, sensual wine from Arlaud, the 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru delivers aromas of orange rind, rose petals, sweet spices and plums. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with melting tannins, bright acids and a saline finish, it's a pure, elegant rendition of this site.
