The 2013 Marsannay Clos du Roi, which includes 80% whole-bunch fruit, was one of the most introverted on the nose when Sylvain served it from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with a linear, quite saline entry. This is a Marsannay with a steely stare: very focused and intense with quite a serious, spicy finish with pomegranate notes on the aftertaste. Very fine but keep it a couple of years in the cellar.
