95+ John Gilman - View from the Cellar

"The 2011 Clos de la Roche from Laurent Lignier is also a magical wine in the making. The stunning nose soars from the glass in a blaze of cherries, plums, beetroot, gamebirds, a beautifully complex base of soil, coffee, woodsmoke and a judicious framing of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and again, very soil-driven in personality this year, with superb focus and mid-palate concentration, suave, ripe tannins and exceptional length and grip on the poised and classic finish. It will take a few more years to fully blossom than the Charmes this year, but it will be a classic in the fullness of time. A great wine by any measure! 2024-2060+."

"The 2011 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru really puts the Charmes-Chambertin "11" in its place. Raised in 50% new oak, it offers much more complex, quite entrancing bouquet with perfumed red currant and wild strawberry scents laced with wilted rose petals and wet limestone. The palate is medium-bodied with an expressive, very well-defined entry and certainly impressive structure that exerts a gentle but insistent grip. There is a lovely silkiness here, the finish very composed and refined. Superb. Drink 2014-2028."
