Tasting Notes

Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2010 represents one of the most sought-after expressions of Burgundy’s prestigious terroir. This vintage is widely celebrated as one of the greatest modern Burgundy years, characterized by its exceptional balance, depth, and aging potential. Its rarity is underscored by soaring global demand and extremely limited availability, making it a prized acquisition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Carefully sourced from a premium private cellar, this Grand Cru exemplifies the finesse and complexity that Domaine Armand Rousseau is renowned for. The Clos de la Roche vineyard is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, a region famed for producing some of the world’s finest Pinot Noir. The unique soil composition and microclimate impart an intense, yet elegant character to the wine, highlighting rich red fruit aromas, subtle earthiness, and finely tuned tannins.

The 2010 vintage is notable for its ideal growing conditions, combining a warm summer with a cool, dry harvest period. This allowed the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness while maintaining vibrant acidity, resulting in wines with remarkable structure and longevity. The Clos de la Roche 2010 reveals layered flavors of cherry, raspberry, and spice, with a complex mineral backbone and a persistent, refined finish.

As supply continues to shrink, securing a bottle from this vintage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Burgundy heritage. Whether for investment or immediate enjoyment, Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2010 stands as a testament to exquisite winemaking and the enduring allure of Burgundy’s Grand Cru vineyards.

Critic Scores

The 2010 Clos de la Roche is fascinating to taste after the Mazis. The Clos de la Roche is all about power, structure and length, qualities it has in spades. There is huge depth and serious extract to the fruit, with equally big tannins to provide support. Layers of intense fruit are intermingled with persistent saline notes on the vibrant, finely chiseled finish. It will take years for the tannins to start melting away, but when they do the 2010 will be a dazzling wine. Actually, it already is. Anticipated maturity: 2030-2050.

A well-layered and dense nose features notes of anise, earth, underbrush, violets and both red and blue pinot fruit aromas. There is very good volume to the large-scaled and dense yet quite supple flavors that possess excellent length. This is impeccably well-balanced and should require 15 years or so to arrive at its peak.

Good bright, dark red. Complex nose mends raspberry, crushed rock, musky minerality, brown spices and a whiff of leather. Sappy, saline and pure, with rich, concentrated flavors of ripe black fruits and minerals. Finishes very long, with dusty tannins and good stony lift. Rousseau noted that he may begin using a bit of new oak for this cuvee in vintage 2012.
