Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
The 2019 Marsannay Clos du Roy was racked a couple of weeks before my visit. It has an opulent bouquet with ripe red cherries, crushed strawberry and light Indian ink aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with quite chewy tannins, very structured and dense, although at the moment it does not convey the same finesse as some of Pataille’s other cuvées.

2.6 ha. Iron-rich clay on degraded limestone. Racked two days ago. Cask sample. Light and sweet. Pure pleasure. Juicy par excellence! A bit reduced at the moment but there is the mineral grip well in evidence. (JR)
