Wine Expert Note:

The Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche with its Grand Cru vineyard is known for producing exceptional Pinot Noir wines with great complexity and aging potential. On the nose, this wine exhibits a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with delicate floral notes and hints of earthiness. The aromas are further enhanced by subtle oak nuances, contributing to a harmonious and elegant profile. Upon tasting, the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru showcases a remarkable balance between power and finesse. The palate is greeted with luscious flavors of red berries, complemented by layers of spice, forest floor, and a touch of minerality. The wine's velvety tannins provide structure and contribute to a long, lingering finish. With its Grand Cru status, this wine displays exceptional aging potential. It is recommended to cellar it for several years to allow its flavors and aromas to fully develop and integrate. However, if you can't resist the temptation, decanting the wine for a couple of hours before serving will help to reveal its true potential.
