  Story time - as you can see in this label of 1979 Dujac Clos la Roche it’s missing the “de”. From what I was told by an old burgundy collector was that Rosalind Seysses (wife of the Jacques Seysses) preferred the look/sound of Clos La Roche v Clos de la Roche so labeled it as such. Wasn’t until the 90s where they were told to add back in the “de” for AOC purposes. Fun lil story quirk. I have no clue if this is true but maybe @drinkdujac can confirm!
  
  On to the wine. What a rollercoaster of a wine. Started out faint and a little musty as all older wine does, but with air it suddenly exploded in an aromatic expedition of cigar notes, sweet sous bois driven earth coated sweet berries with a hint of soy on the edges. Throughout the course of dinner the nose would fly in and out until the bottle was fully consumed.
  
  Palate wise is was integrated and fully mature, sweet soft fruit pulsed in with a clean jolt of acid and the earthy undertones held onto a crisp finish. Leaning toward more tertiary than primary notes.
