Lot 121 Details
DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU CLOS DE LA ROCHE 2012

Côte de Nuits. Grand Cru Classé
u. 2 x 1 cm.

For the first time a little new oak (10%) has been used on the 2012 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, where part of the vineyard was replanted five years ago. The fruit here is a little blacker than the Mazis-Chambertin tasted prior, that new oak “plugging” the gaps that might have been there without the new wood. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins on the entry. There is a citric core of fruit here, touches of marmalade infusing the black and red fruit on the linear, mineral finish. This should age very well – a Clos de la Roche with substance and presence. December 2013 WA (92-94)

2 bts.    per lot $1,200 - $1,400
