Vinous (95)
The 1985 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru had a slightly paler hue than the Clos de la Roche. The bouquet is heavenly with Morello cherry, wild strawberry, orange pith and clove, later just a splash of iodine. The palate has exquisite balance, filigree tannin, a sense of symmetry that roots you to the spot. The core of red fruit seems to build and build with aeration, touches of white pepper, clove and loam/earthy notes. I always look for backbone in this Grand Cru, and this particular wine from Jacques Seysses delivers precisely that though, it never becomes overpowering. Yet, there is that grip on the finish suggesting that like the Clos de la Roche, this has another 15 to 20 years in the tank...if you can resist temptation. Tasted at Tour d’Argent restaurant in Paris.Inc. TAX€7,504.49 -
Vinous (92)
The 1998 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru performs commendably given that I am not particularly fond of this growing season. The vibrant nose features black currant pastilles and a subtle marine influence; traits of kelp and iodine emerge with time. Very charming, and the whole-bunch addition is extremely well subsumed. The palate is medium-bodied, supple and fleshy, offering a caressing mouthfeel that you might mistake for a 1999. Granted, this 1998 is not as complex or as thrilling as the follow-up, yet it is nicely proportioned, with a discreet bitter edge on the sapid, conservative finish. Bottles can be consumed now but should give another 15 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted at the Clos Saint-Denis vertical at Hide restaurant. 92Inc. TAX€31,915.46 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)
Good bright red. Very spicy and peppery on the aromatic nose. Suave, spicy and aromatic in the mouth, with a ripe strawberry flavor and good breadth of texture. Finishes silky and long. Showing well today.Inc. TAX€1,414.75 -

Vinous (96)
The 2008 Clos St. Denis emerges from the glass with layers of fruit. This is an especially round, generous wine for the vintage. The Clos St. Denis has plenty of underlying structure to support the fruit and also allow for significant aging. The finish lingers on the palate for what seems like an eternity. The qualities of the vintage as seen through the lens of the year come through loud and clear in this profound Burgundy.Inc. TAX€8,899.68 -
(1x75cl) 2010
Wine Advocate (95-97)
The 2010 Clos St. Denis is downright explosive from the first taste. An exotic melange of dark cherries, plums, minerals and cloves are all supported by insistent underlying minerality. The wine continues to grow in the glass, as layers of flavor fill out its broad-shouldered frame nicely. Blackberries, cassis, menthol and licorice flow through to the textured finish. This is a breathtaking effort. It is also a wine for the very patient. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2045.Inc. TAX€1,731.82 -

Vinous (94+)
Full, dark red. Captivating rose petal lift to the aromas of red fruits, iron and minerals; less earthy and more ethereal than the Clos de la Roche. Also juicier and tighter in the mouth, showing less early sweetness but terrific acid spine and lift to the sappy flavors of raspberry and salty minerals. This wine has really put on weight since its bottling, noted Diane Snowden. But it still boasts terrific cut and inner-mouth tension. Lay this one down.Inc. TAX€3,011.29 -

Burghound (94)
A completely different aromatic profile is present here with its notably more elegant and expressive nose of various floral elements that include lavender and rose petal along with various spice and red berry fruit scents. There is a terrific sense of underlying tension to the precise, racy and focused middle weight flavors that are notably finer than those of the Clos de la Roche but at the cost of being notably less powerful. I very much like the superb persistence and fine balance and even though the tannins are quite fine they are also notably dense and as such this too is absolutely going to require plenty of patience.Inc. TAX€13,101.36 -
(1x75cl) 2015
Vinous (94)
Bright, dark red. Perfumed but reticent aromas of raspberry and rose petal. Very pure but tightly wound, showing more red fruit lift than the Clos de la Roche but less showy today. A darker note of medicinal black cherry contributes to this young wine's serious mien. Less thick than the Clos de la Roche but still very 2015 in character. Finishes very long and floral, with firm but suave tannins. This wine calls for patience but I would not be surprised if it gave pleasure earlier than the Clos de la Roche.Inc. TAX€1,522.28 -
(1x75cl) 2019
Vinous (94-96)
The 2019 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a succinct and almost understated bouquet with tea leaf and light dried blood/ferrous aromas tincturing the brambly red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, beautifully judged acidity, very refined with a touch of cracked black pepper that enlivens the sustained finish. Maybe it does not possess the bravura of the Clos de la Roche, but still a beautiful Clos Saint-Denis. I would not be surprised if it lands at the top of my banded score.Inc. TAX€1,954.28 -

Vinous (97)
The 2020 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru was quite spectacular from barrel last year. Not in bottle, sure, it has closed up a little, yet there remains a brooding intensity, dark berry fruit, Earl Grey and mineral aromas eventually emerging. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, grainy in texture, superb concentration and symmetry with a very long and detailed finish. Superb.Inc. TAX€992.93 -
(3x75cl) 1996Vinous (96)
Dujac’s 1996 Clos de La Roche is served last, but its pedigree comes through loud and clear in seemingly endless aromas and flavors that dazzle. Savory herbs, rose petal and soft, supple fruit cress the palate in this gorgeous Burgundy. The 1996 is just entering the early part of its maturity. It should drink well for another decade or two. This is a magnificent showing from the Seysses family. 96Inc. TAX€9,205.84 -
Vinous (91+)
Deep red. Briary red berries, mocha, licorice, leather and smoky oak on the highly aromatic nose. Impressively thick and concentrated, but also conveys an impression of firm acidity. Intriguing cool menthol note along with sappy red berries. One senses the vineyard character here. Finishes firmly tannic but not dry. Very backward wine with a bright future.Inc. TAX€1,738.75 -
(1x75cl) 1999Vinous (98)
(the yield here was 45 hectoliters per hectare): Good full red. Knockout explosive nose combines raspberry, brown spices, underbrush, mustard seed and roast coffee. Very rich and sweet but with terrific energy and minerality lifting the wine's red fruit flavors. This grand cru is evolving at a snail's pace and seemed to grow even fresher as it opened in the glass. Finishes with firm but suave tannins and outstanding slowly rising length, with an unexpected piquant note of blood orange. This incredible Clos de la Roche is just approaching its peak. The most amazing thing of all: I tasted it from a 375-milliliter bottle.Inc. TAX€2,943.85 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)
Good deep red. Redcurrant, mocha, minerals and cinnamon on the nose; smells more important than the Clos Saint-Denis. A step up in concentration and power, with considerably more stuffing than the last wine. Finishes persistent and ripe.Inc. TAX€1,882.49 -
(1x75cl) 2005Wine Advocate (96)
The Seysses’ 2005 Clos de la Roche charts new territory in this collection for sheer intensity. Black cherry, kirsch distillate, cedar, incense, iron filings, wet stone, and roasted meats and coffee represent a few of the immediate aromatic suggestions forced on this taster. In the mouth, it is similarly compelling, with an eruption of clear black cherry, cassis, and meat juices, faintly bitter notes of fruit skin and pungent herbal and mineral notes adding complexity. The texture is incipiently velvety, imposingly glossy, and a perfect cover for fine, abundant tannins. Spectacularly rich and reverberative in its multifaceted finish, this sensational wine deserves at least a decade of rest before re-opening.Inc. TAX€2,236.28 -
(3x150cl) 2008Wine Advocate (95)
The 2008 Clos de la Roche is particularly refined in this vintage. The wine literally floats on the palate with weightless elegance in its intensely perfumed fruit. Crushed flowers and red berries linger on the silky, impossibly fine finish. This is a fabulous effort from Dujac. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033.Inc. TAX€6,911.04 -
Vinous (96+)
The 2010 Clos de La Roche from Dujac is an infant, but it is also fabulous. All of the signatures are there; soaring aromatics, finely sculpted fruit and vibrant, pulsating tannins. What a privilege it is to drink the 2010 over several hours at dinner. An intensely perfumed, multi-dimensional Burgundy, the 2010 captures all of the potential I have seen in previous tastings. Ideally, the 2010 should be cellared for at least a handful of years, as it is built for a long life that will go out for several decades. Readers who own the 2010 should be thrilled.Inc. TAX€1,347.84 -
Vinous (94+)
Healthy full red. Compelling soil-driven scents of raspberry, coffee, underbrush and smoky minerality. Wonderfully rich, smoky and deep but also with the vintage's sappy, floral lift to its raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors. Perhaps best today on the extremely long finish, where the tannins are refined but substantial and will still need considerable patience. A beauty in the making.Inc. TAX€757.88 -
(3x75cl) 2015Wine Advocate (96)
Domaine Dujac's 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is wonderful, one of the stars of the range this year, wafting from the glass with a kaleidoscopically complex bouquet of blackberry, cassis, cinnamon, dried rose, orange peel and pencil lead. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a deep core, fine-grained tannins and perfect balance, its finish long and sapid. While this is concentrated—even powerful—it is also beautifully elegant, avoiding the overt muscularity of which this grand cru is capable.Inc. TAX€3,960.84 -
(6x75cl) 2016Vinous (93-96)
(the estate made a full crop of 40 hectoliters per hectare, as there was no frost here): Full, dark red. Captivating aromas of raspberry, strawberry, spices, flowers and sweet new oak. Juicy, intense and aromatic on the palate--youthfully imploded in a positive way. Projects compelling energy and subtle sweetness to its red berry and spice flavors. Finishes very long and tight, with an exhilarating wild berry element. A knockout sharply delineated Clos de la Roche that offers terrific intensity without any sense of weight.Inc. TAX€6,133.68 -

Dujac's 2017 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is more reserved that the Clos Saint-Denis, unwinding in the glass with scents of red berries, plums, orange rind, cinnamon, peonies and sweet soil tones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, serious and layered, with muscular structure, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. While this remains a comparatively accessible, finesse-driven Clos de la Roche, at least a decade's patience will be required to see this begin to realize its potential.Inc. TAX€2,665.63 -

They have 1.95 ha here (4.8 acres). Five blocks from Mont Luisants across to Les Chabiots, average age 50 years. Barrel sample. A light note of smoky reduction. Ripe and dark. Sweet and sour. Intense and not yet integrated. Some baking spice and a touch of chocolate. Hard to judge this at the moment bit it certainly has massive fruit depth and richness and yet also a chalky mineral finish that pulls it in at the end. Embryonic but I think it will be a great wine.Inc. TAX€799.88 -

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, demonstrating a little more girth and depth than the Clos Saint-Denis. It gently builds to a spicy and tensile finish, lingering peppery notes ensuring that you will not forget it in a hurry. Every vine that contributed fruit to this wine deserves a big shiny medal.Inc.

(5-Star Wine) Fractionally denser in colour than Clos St-Denis with a meatier bouquet, some blood orange as well as the traditional blueberry of this vineyard. A little white pepper comes up. This is brilliantly complete, no feeling of a lighter vintage, with superb grace at the finish. Ripe alpine strawberries. 76% whole bunches. Drink from 2030-2038.Inc. TAX€972.68

Burgundy is Pinot Noir’s spiritual home, and nowhere in the world better illustrates terroir than here. Two vineyards side by side result in wines with subtle yet intricate differences in structure and aromatic profile – and often not so subtle differences in price.
