Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Clusel Roch, Côte Rôtie, Champon, 2021

From two parcels surrounded by forest, one east facing planted on sandy and limey soils, the other west facing on the plain. A totally different profile to the Viallière, this has darker fruit and more resonance and amplitude. Ripe, present tannins are covered in part by notes of tapenade, bramble and plum. It has a more serious cut to the finish, one that delivers a certain amount of freshness, too. Aged for two years in 20% new oak.

Clusel Roch

Clusel Roch

This small artisanal Domaine, run by Brigitte Roch, Gilbert Clusel and their son Guillaume, only employs organic methods to work its vineyards and for some time have consistently had some of the lowest yields in the region. Such low yields and excellent vineyard sites help to produce excellent wines that are made in a gentle, pure and refined style. There is little new oak; depending on the vintage a large proportion of whole bunches may be included in fermentations and extractions are soft resulting in elegant, refined and characterful Côte Rôtie that age seamlessly. The standard cuvée is aged in one- and two-year-old barriques for a year, whilst wine from the old vines of Les Grandes Places require ageing in a proportion of new oak barriques, rarely more than 30-40%.
