Description
“We grew up in the area dreaming about Burgundy,” says Ale, “and if there is a Grand Cru here, it’s this one.” Veglio’s tiny 0.39-hectare plot produces just 2,000 bottles per year and has been labeled as a Riserva since the 2016 vintage. Previously, new oak percentages for Rocche reached as high as 50%, but a backhanded compliment from Laurent Ponsot led them to gradually reduce its use. The result is a thrilling wine with endless complexity and finesse, featuring delineated black fruit and sweet liquorice highlights. Composed and self-assured, it achieves an impeccable balance.Berry Bros. & Rudd
