Marchand & Tawse, Clos Roche Brut Zero Touches of menthol and wood

Touches of menthol and wood surround the floral and pepper scented nose that isn’t quite as fresh as that of the Montmains

earth-laced fruits cut through with bright red berry and citrusy pops

while the sweet core of fruit comes to the surface thanks to fine acidity

finishing on a perfumed note

This is a lovely wine of distinction balance and harmony that is built to age over the next decade or so as the underlying material is superb

Marchand & Tawse, Clos Roche Brut Zero Touches of menthol and woodThis is aromatically similar to the Clos St. Denis except for the presence of plenty of sauvage character and a more pronounced earthiness. As one would reasonably expect there is more size, weight, richness and power to the big bodied flavors that possess very solid volume on the balanced and impressively persistent finish. There is fine depth and this should amply repay medium to longer term cellaring. (91 94) 2024+
