Grand CruCLOS DE LA ROCHE

Geographic description

First mentioned as far back as 1120, fourteenth century Morey was a place of asylum for Cistercian monks who appeared to have possessed numerous vineyards and even a winery by 1306. The appellation extends from Chambolle-Musigny to Gevrey-Chambertin and covers around 148 hectares, 80% of which are planted with grapes for red wines. In the 19th century, Clos de la Roche vineyard only covered "4 hectares 57 ares 40". When the AOC was created in 1936, it grew to around 15 hectares as it included the local areas known as" Les Mochamps", "Les Froichots", "Les Fremières", "Les Chabiots" and the lower part of "Monts Luisant"s. In 1971 the area increased to nearly 17 hectares when "Les Genavrières" was added.

Geological description
