Marsannay Clos du Roy 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Marsannay is a large and diverse appellation spread across 3 communes at the far north sector of the Cote d'Or. Soils are mostly clay and small stones on slopes oriented to the east and southeast. This is the only Burgundian appellation permitted to produce and label wines in all three colors. In addition, Marsannay has campaigned for years to elevate various terroirs to the status of Premier Cru. For now, this appellation retains its strong quality / price ratio.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This is a full-bodied dry red wine with moderate tannin, dark berry fruit enhanced with spice and mossy earth notes. The mouthfeel is soft and expansive over the long finish.
