Traditional whole-cluster fermentation methods unchanged since 1909 anchor Cyrielle Rousseau's approach to this Grand Cru, applied here to two parcels in Clos de la Roche acquired across 1920–1921 and 1975 — Rousseau's only holding outside Gevrey-Chambertin. The vineyard name references massive stone blocks buried roughly 30 centimeters beneath mid-Jurassic limestone and calcareous-clay soils, a geology that drives the wine's signature mineral tension. The 2022 delivers red cherry, crushed rose petal, and iron-tinged earth, with firm but fine tannins and a long, precise finish.
