'Clos du Rois' is one of the best parcels within the Grand Cru vineyard of Corton, producing wines that take the concept of 'Terroir' into a whole new level.
Now entering a beautiful stage of maturity, the wine offers layers of dark cherry, blackcurrant and plum, underpinned by forest floor, dried herbs, spice and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, it is structured yet refined, with polished tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish that speaks to both its Grand Cru pedigree and careful cellaring.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
