Nez assez intense, envoutant, change beaucoup dans le verre au fil de la soirée, bouche éclatante, pas terne du tout pour un 2006, belle acidité et fraîcheur, puissant et fin à la fois, belle texture, bel équilibre, c’est long et savoureux. 94-95
Nice intense nose, lots of fruit, nice acidity and freshness, power and finesse at the same time, nice balance, nice length, Grand Cru feel for sure, gorgeous.

Alec Seysses is a big believer in his ‘06, says it’s better than the ‘05. Still, a group at our table found the intensity of the ‘10 made it the Clos de la Roche to put away. The ‘09 was related by Seysses as their first vintage with over-ripening concerns, however deftly handled. The ‘14 had large support as delicious and most enjoyable at present. Ripe, dense, and quite open was the ‘19 with a huge future. The ‘17 Clos de la Roche was also served. Sneaking into the picture, and maybe my favorite of the night, was the ‘17 Clos Saint-Denis (see score).

Dec 2nd, 2022Très beau même si c’est encore un bébé, beaucoup de matière, la structure et la texture d’un GC sont la par contre, bâti pour la route. 92-93
Very nice structure and texture, but still a baby, a little atypical of many 2006 I drank before from many producers.

Nov 13th, 2018Needed 1-2 to open up. Airy, layers of cool berry fruit, and compote cherries. A bit of stems from the whole cluster. Once again, dark berry tea. Very complex and well balanced. Producer style and vintage is a beautiful marriage here. Open for business now but do air!
