Critics Ratings

'Very slightly smoky but there’s still fine dark-red fruits showing through. There’s just a touch of vanilla sweetness as it opens. Delicate with the freshness I associate with stems (though it is fully destemmed). Complex to describe because there is incredible finesse in the tannins but they are very present, very direct. There’s a rocky, almost bitter finish that says ‘stay away’ and underneath it all is a river of fine dark fruit.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Nov 2018)

“The 2017 Clos de la Roches Grand Cru , which is tasted from two barrels since one is reduced, has a well defined bouquet with brambly red fruit, candied orange peel, hints of cassis and later, vanilla pod. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin,slightly sorbet in character with hintsof mulberry and fig towards the complex andquite persistent finish. One of the more cerebral Clos de la Roche releases from Domaine Rosseau” .Drinking window 2022 - 2040.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 92 - 94/100 (Nov 2018)
