Clos De La Roche Grand Cru Domaine Castagnier, 2021

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Domaine Castagnier is a fine-boned yet powerful expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most revered sites. The 2021 vintage brings focus, precision, and fresh red-fruited character, while the Grand Cru pedigree gives it depth, structure, and serious cellar potential.

Tasting Notes
Expect a bright ruby to garnet colour, with a refined nose of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle spice, lifted by earthy and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is typically elegant and layered, combining fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savoury finish with notes of forest floor, spice, and dark berry fruit. As with the best Clos de la Roche, this wine should evolve beautifully in bottle, developing more complex tertiary aromas of truffle, dried flowers, and undergrowth over time. It has the structure and concentration to age gracefully for well over a decade, and likely much longer in a good cellar.

Production
Clos de la Roche is a Grand Cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, famed for its stony limestone soils that help produce wines of power, precision, and mineral drive. Domaine Castagnier works with Pinot Noir in a classic Burgundian style, with careful harvesting to preserve fruit purity and gentle vinification to respect the delicacy of the grape and the character of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young, to help the wine show its aromatic complexity and loosen its structure. It pairs beautifully with duck breast, roast quail, game birds, mushroom dishes, veal, and refined cheeses such as Époisses or aged Comté.
