The 2015 Beaune 1Er Cru Clos du Roi is initially somewhat reductive, unwinding with aeration to offer up attractive notions of red berries, orange rind, spice, rich soil and French roast. On the palate, the wine is supple, open-knit and satiny, with a juicy core of sapid fruit and a saline, stem-influenced finish. An attractive Clos du Roi, but the overt reduction depresses my score a touch.
