Winemaker Notes

This 13-acre Premier Cru vineyard is located at the northern end of Beaune, and grows on well-drained low slopes covered with rocks. It is an early climat which produces beautifully ripe grapes and full-bodied fruity wines with silky tannins. The "Clos du Roi" holds its name from History facts; it refers to the period when King Louis XI annexed the plot and declared it his property when Charles The Bold died in 1477. In addition, the Climat bears the name "Clos" for it still hold traces of the stone walls that enclosed originally the plot.

Opens with powerful aromas of blackberries seductively enhanced by vanilla notes. Full-bodied and rich, with very present yet silky tannins and spicy notes in the finish.

Food Pairing : Game meats or aged soft cheeses such as Epoisses or Maroilles.
