Tasting notes
Laurent Fournier's domaine has been worked organically since 2004, and has been certified since the 2008 vintage. The Clos du Roy is arguably one of the top sites in Marsannay, and is currently under application for premier cru status. 45% whole bunch. Very spicy nose and real grip on the palate. Marked acidity and a certain noblesse. Fruit speaks first, as it should do. (JR)

The 2013 Marsanny Clos du Roy includes around 45% whole-bunch fruit. The quality of this terroir really shines through on the nose: blackberries, wild strawberry, limestone and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, quite firm tannin with a masculine but very focused finish that will surely flesh out by the time of bottling. Look out for this - one of Jean Fournier's best 2013s in the making.
