Marsannay, Clos du Roy, 2013

justerini & brooks tasting note

A cuvée made from a plot of 70-year-old vines of which only two barrels were made. Intense, dense spicy dark fruit flavours with good focus and freshness. Complex undergrowth and earthy characteristics play perfect foil to the rich, spice-infused forest berry fruit.

critic reviews

87/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Medium bright red. Slightly diffuse aromas of cherry, strawberry, spices and earth. Riper and more penetrating than the basic Marsannay bottling, showing decent intensity and inner-mouth lift to the flavors of dark cherry, spices and herbs. Still a bit spiky with acidity but this wine has decent material to support its tannins. Not bad. (Unfortunately, my sample of the Marsannay Les Longeroies was corked.)
