Clos De La Roche: Grand Cru Guide, Producers and Prices
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru: verified vineyard facts, live prices for 39 wines from 163 sellers and 21,841 auction results by producer.
Clos de la Roche is a Grand Cru vineyard in Morey-Saint-Denis, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. It is red-only, from Pinot Noir. Many domaines and négociants own or buy from parcels in it, so "Clos de la Roche" on a label tells you the place, not the producer, the style or the price.
This guide sets out the verified facts about the vineyard and what its wines cost today. The prices come from Wine Labs data collected on November 4, 2026: live retail offers for 39 Clos de la Roche wines from 163 sellers, and 21,841 auction lots with a recorded sale price.

How the Grand Cru grew
The Clos de la Roche of 1936 covered 4.57 ha. It was first enlarged to 15.35 ha by adding neighbouring climats. In 1971 it reached 16.90 ha, when part of Les Genavrières and Les Chaffots was reclassified. The appellation now includes the lieux-dits Clos de la Roche, Les Chabiots, Les Fremières, Les Froichots, Les Genavrières, Les Mochamps and Monts Luisants (Burgundy Report).
Published areas differ slightly by source and year: 16.90 ha in the classified area, 16.73 ha in production per the BIVB, and 13.41 ha in production in 2008 (Wikipedia).
Rules and soils
The appellation rules set a base yield of 35 hl/ha (Wikipedia) and a maximum of 42 hl/ha (Burgundy Report). Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris are allowed as accessory grapes up to 15% in total, though this is rarely done. The minimum planting density is 9,000 vines per hectare.
The BIVB describes limestone soils with topsoil barely 30 cm deep, few pebbles and large boulders. Individual producers describe their own parcels. For example, Domaine Amiot et Fils owns 0.5612 ha, planted between 1965 and 1982, on brown limestone with rocks and gravel. The domaine says its wine is ready to drink from about ten years after the vintage and can age for 15 to 30 years, depending on the vintage (Domaine Amiot et Fils).

Retail and auction measure different things
A retail price is an asking price for a bottle in stock. An auction price is the result for one lot. It includes the buyer's premium but not shipping, tax or storage, and it depends on the lot's condition and provenance.
Per 750 ml. All vintages pooled, so not vintage-matched. Wines that appear in both tables above.
| Wine | Retail median | Auction median, 3 yr |

| Hubert Lignier MCMLV | $1,150 | $560 |
| Armand Rousseau | $1,000 | $709 |
| Dujac | $935 | $750 |
| Ponsot Cuvée Vieilles Vignes | $824 | $407 |

To compare like with like, we matched the same wine and vintage in both channels: 95 pairs across 20 wines, using auction results from the last three years with at least three lots per vintage. The median auction result was 0.58 times the median retail price, with half of the pairs between 0.43 and 0.71. In 89 of the 95 pairs, the auction median was below the retail median.
Using these numbers
- Identify the wine first. Producer and cuvée change the price more than the vineyard name. Some domaines make more than one Clos de la Roche cuvée.
- Match the vintage. Retail and auction medians in the tables pool vintages. Use the vintage you hold or want to buy.
- Check the format and lot size. Our auction figures are per 750 ml, but a lot of six or twelve bottles, or a magnum, sells on its own terms.
- Read the condition report before you compare an older auction lot with a current retail offer.

Data methodology: Wine Labs data, snapshot November 4, 2026. "Clos de la Roche wines" are catalogue wines whose name contains both "Clos de la Roche" and "Grand Cru". Givry, Chinon and Vouvray wines with "Clos de la Roche" in the name are excluded. Retail uses live offers from online merchants and wine shops, single 750 ml bottles only, with one median price per wine per seller; a chain counts as one seller per country. Auction figures use lots with a positive realised price, buyer's premium included, normalised to 750 ml, with mixed lots and flagged outliers removed. Lots without an auction date use the sale date. All prices are in US dollars. Appellation facts come from the BIVB, Burgundy Report, Wikipedia and Domaine Amiot et Fils, as linked.
