Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Beaune Clos du Roi 2011 from Nathalie Tollot has an attractive bouquet with slightly darker fruit than its peers, but there is satisfactory presence and vigor, revealing subtle scents of blackberry, raspberry and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine weight and extraction, the acidity nicely judged with good density on the saline finish that still retains some wood to be subsumed. Give this wine two or three years.

Here the nose is slightly riper with notes of plum, violet, red currant and earth. There is a supple and very round mouth feel to the fleshy and succulent middle weight flavors that possess an attractive texture before culminating in a delicious, easy-to-like and reasonably complex finish that delivers solid length. This should drink well young if desired. Tasted: Apr 15, 2013. Drink: 2018+
