Grand Cru site in the municipality of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte d'Or area (Burgundy). To the north, the area borders the Premier Cru site Aux Combottes of Gevrey-Chambertin, with Clos Saint-Denis to the south. The site was classified as a Grand Cru in 1936, and the Genavrières site was added in 1971. The east-facing vineyards at 270 to 300 metres above sea level cover around 17 hectares of vines on brown, chalky soil that is only 30 centimetres thick in places. Underneath are large pieces of rock (roches), from which the name of the site is derived. Although the Clos indicates that the vineyards were enclosed by walls, this probably never happened.
