Fleurot Clos de la Roche 2021

The 2021 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru presents a subtle reduction on the nose, yet beneath it lies flinty red berry fruit and delicate hints of pressed rose petal. On the palate, it is well-balanced, featuring crunchy black fruit intertwined with slatey, mineral notes that the reduction may accentuate. The wine finishes with persistence. In a vintage where such qualities are uncommon, this offers an intellectual proposition.
