"A beautiful, silky, rich Clos du Roy!
"Clos du Roy is probably the best-known of Mercurey's premier crus, and this licorice-tinged cuvée offers rich, unctuous flavors of black plum and blackberry, accented by hints of vanilla, cracked black pepper and smoke. Delicately tannic with a silky texture, this wine is accessible in its youth and should reach its peak until 2027." (Wine Enthusiast 2022)
