Pousse d'Or Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2016

95-97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Impressively dense purple, with an equally intense bouquet, we just need to wait for the detail. A little oak comes out. Really dense on the palate too, dark fruit, good acidity, linear, matt finish, but excellent intensity."

94-97 points Fine Wine Review: "Last, the Clos de la Roche is smoky and stony in the nose. The mouth is deep and powerful with intense iron and dark fruit flavors. It is outstanding Clos de la Roche. (Nov 2017)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru was demonstrating quite a lot of new oak on the nose, although it has the same percentage as the premier crus at around 30%. This obscured some of the fruit underneath, yet it is still nicely defined and classier than the Bonnes-Mares. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, sweet and generous but maintaining fine tension with good substance and length on the finish. This might be the best offering from the domaine in 2016. Drink: 2022-2040. (12/29/17)"

91-94 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Bright red-ruby. Complex, soil-inflected scents of black raspberry, smoke, stony minerality, licorice and fresh blood. Plusher and sweeter at this stage than the Bonnes-Mares, and equally earthy in a positive way. Gains in thickness toward the back end, but the building tannins are a touch dusty and herbal. A more saline style of wine than the Bonnes-Mares. (Jan 2018)"
