René Bouvier Clos du Roy Vieilles Vignes Marsannay 2022

From the excellent Les Pau sector at the northern end of Clos du Roy. Not the deepest of purples but with a most engaging bouquet. The whole bunches are very prettily in tune here. Flowers on top of the vivid and juicy red fruit. Another level of class here, with complexity at the back of the palate and excellent length. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Jan. 2024. Score – 92-93.
