Heiner Lobenberg über:
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2013
97–100 /100
Lobenberg: Die beste und einzige Weltklasselage von Mores Saint Denis? Nur 6 Barriques. Dieser Weinberg liegt in Morey St. Denis, 50-60 Jahre alte Reben. Intensives Toasting in der Nase. Dunkle Früchte, dunkle Schokolade, feuchte Erde. Harmonisch, aber noch deutlich vom Holz dominiert. Der Mund klar besser als die Nase. Intensive, üppige Frucht. Schwarze Johannisbeeren, schwarze Kirschen, frische Zwetschgen, auch ein Hauch von Holunder, diverse provenzalische Gewürze, Johannisbrotbaum und schwarze Oliven, kubanische Tabake. Sehr interessanter, spannender Mund. Ein atemberaubender Wein mit großer Länge. Es fehlt das letzte Stück Finesse eines in die gleiche Richtung gehenden Bonnes Mares, aber ganz sicher dennoch ein imposanter Weltklasse-Wein mit ungeheuer individuellem Ausdruck. Ein grandioser Begleiter zu Wild und dunklem, geschmorten Fleisch. 97-100/100

Galloni über:
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
-- Galloni: The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin stands out for its intense minerality and energy. Crushed rocks, sage, chalk, spice and dark red stone fruits open up in a deep, powerful Burgundy endowed with notable class. It's pretty clear the 2013 is showing just a bare hint of its potential today. Still, from time to time, the wine's pedigree comes through loud and clear. Bernstein's Charmes is a blend of 60% true Charmes and 40% Mazoyères. 93-96/100
92–95 /100
Tanzer über:
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
-- Tanzer: Bright, deep red-ruby. Alluring soil-driven aromas of boysenberry, flowers and earth are reticent and refined. At once savory and sweet in the mouth, with a captivating tangy quality and terrific floral lift to the flavors of dark berries, musky minerality, leather and pepper. This wine is made from vines in the high, calcaire-rich part of this grand cru, and that's obvious in its taut, youthfully imploded character. This very fine-grained, perfumed Clos de la Roche will need patience and should be long-lived. -- Stephen Tanzer 92-95/100

BH über:
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
-- BH: The wood treatment is slightly more prominent compared to that of the Clos de Vougeot even if it remains relatively soft and certainly allows the ripe, fresh and layered aromas of plum, earth, spice and leather aromas to be easily appreciated. There is excellent intensity to the rich, opulent and delicious large- caled flavors that possess plenty of muscle before culminating in a dusty, mouth coating and impressively persistent finish. This too should be approachable young but age effortlessly well too. 92-94/100
Wine Spectator über:
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
-- Wine Spectator: An expressive wine, seductive for the silky texture and purity of cherry fruit. Licorice, spice and sandalwood notes add depth as this cruises to a long, smooth aftertaste, echoing the spice and toasty oak accents. 94/100
