Clos de la Roche 1999

The 1999 Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is a monument to Burgundian winemaking from Morey-Saint-Denis. The Armand Rousseau estate is among the most prestigious wineries in Burgundy , cultivating its Grand Cru vineyards with uncompromising precision. Clos de la Roche is one of Burgundy's most important sites, whose chalky soils and perfect exposure lend exceptional depth to the Pinot Noir.

The vinification follows traditional principles: hand-harvesting, spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts, careful extraction, and extended aging in French oak barrels. The 1999 Vintage was challenging, but in the hands of Armand Rousseau, Wines of concentrated elegance and impressive structure were created. This Clos de la Roche embodies precisely that – a wine that has gained complexity over the years and is now reaching its optimal drinking point.

On the nose, a bouquet of dark cherries, dried rose petals, forest floor, and subtle spice unfolds – notes of truffle and undergrowth mingle with fine tobacco. On the palate, the full class of the Grand Cru is evident: silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a noble minerality that runs through the wine like a common thread. The finish is long, elegant, and lingers with hints of dark fruit and earthy depth.
