With Guillaume Clusel now handling more and more of the vineyard and winemaking responsibilities here, I've noticed a subtle change of style in the red wines in recent years. The Clusel-Roch Côte-Rôties have long been prized by their fans for their relatively light touch, but lately I've been seeing a bit more depth of flavor, with no loss of elegance, and the tannins seem to be even finer than in the past, even in the flagship Grandes Places bottling. Guillaume has his own domain, which specializes in Gamay, and I wonder if working with that variety has had an effect on his work with Syrah, because I definitely see even more graceful character in these wines now than in the past.
