This is aromatically similar to the Bressandes but with sightly more evident sauvage elements. The equally sleek if not quite as dense medium weight flavors that possess a bit more minerality on the youthfully austere, sneaky long and well-balanced finale. This could also use better depth, but more should easily develop if given time. Barrel Sample: 91-93
Winemaker Notes
An historic walled plot located above Corton-Bressandes, Clos du Roi is full, broad and intense. Intense garnet red color, a spicy nose with hints of pepper, clove, a dense and powerful mouth of mature fruit; extreme elegance.
