Tasting notes
Domaine Lécheneaut's Clos de la Roche from 2002 is one of those wines that really showcases the beauty of Burgundy. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, it has this artistic presence that's just undeniable. The name itself, Clos de la Roche, hints at the special place where this wine comes from.
This wine makes an appearance in volume 4 of "The Drops of God" where the Ishigami brothers' father talks about Lécheneaut. From his words, you can feel how special this wine is. It's all about the land of Burgundy and the passion for Pinot Noir.
Just look at the color. After 24 years, this wine shows a garnet hue with a hint of orange at the rim, deepening in the glass. On the nose, you first get notes of tea and undergrowth, then it gently unfurls into black cherry and dried herbs. The aroma alone is captivating.
When you sip it, the rich fruitiness unfolds first, followed by a smooth and soft acidity. Then, velvety tannins gently linger on your palate, giving it a solid structure. The finish is long and complex, with new discoveries in every sip. It's the kind of wine you want to enjoy slowly in a special glass.
