(93-96 points) Bright purple. A mix of red fruit and stem influence on the nose. The Clos de la Roche becomes more perfumed, with middleweight fresh red berries on the palate, then a stronger white pepper behind. The stems are more influential than the fruit and terroir just at the moment, but all the components are there and will deliver.

(94-96 points) The 2024 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru might be Dujac's standout this vintage. It has a touch more lift and fruit intensity compared to the Charmes-Chambertin. It is not opulent but would like to be. Lovely pure wild strawberry and raspberry scents, veins of blue fruit, becoming more floral in style with violet and peony. The palate is medium-bodied with an overtly spicy, curry leaf-tinged opening. Very cohesive, fine weight, the whole bunch vocal on the finish but simpatico with the fruit underneath. This will be very tempting in its youth but is one of the minority of 2024s that might repay cellaring. - Neal Martin

(93-95 points) More strongly marked by whole-cluster character than the Clos Saint-Denis, Dujac’s 2024 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru articulates aromas of cherry, raspberry, peony, iris and orange peel, mingled with a faint hint of moss. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, supple and layered, with a pure, vibrant core of fruit framed by powdery tannins and animated by vibrant acidity; elegant in profile, it concludes with a long, saline finish.- Kristaps Karklins

Surprisingly deep in colour, this is somewhat closed initially, but it opens marvellously on the palate with rich, plummy fruit aromas, hints of spice and bramble. It is more forward than the Charmes-Chambertin and also more substantial on the palate, with admirable density of texture and a good depth of fruit. Clean and pure, this is a winning Clos de la Roche that should drink well after five years in the cellar and for a further 20 beyond that.
