2015 Clos de la Roche

(from 5 separate parcels that total 1.2 ha located in Monts Luisants, Fremières, Chabiots and Mochamps). Here too a moderately toasty character serves as a less than completely neutral backdrop for the more complex nose of purple fruit, cassis, spice, game and leather-scented aromas. There is good power to the relatively supple and rounded medium weight flavors that tighten up considerably on the firm, balanced and focused finish that delivers a bit more overall persistence and sense of harmony.
