Description
"A gorgeous and intricately layered nose features notes of poached plum, spice, violet, earth, smoked game and the barest hint of oak influence. The sleek, vibrant and utterly delicious medium weight flavors possess both excellent power and complexity on the dusty, balanced and built-to-age finale. This is very good with the development potential to match." - 92-95 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
"The 2023 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, which includes 80% whole bunch, has a beautifully defined bouquet that is more complex and terroir-expressive than the preceding Charmes-Chambertin. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy opening that disguises the insistent grip behind, a testament to Lignier-Michelot's more hands-off approach in extraction. It is refined, with lovely balance and a touch of allspice toward the finish. This is a worthy follow-up to his standout 2022. I would not be surprised if it ends up at the top of my banded score once in bottle." - 95-97 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
