Tasting notes
Aromas of rich blackberry and cassis fruit mingled with hints of licorice and peonies preface the 2020 Marsannay Clos du Roy (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, lively wine with an ample core of fruit and youthfully chewy structuring tannins. This is a touch more tightly wound than its 2019 predecessor.

The 2020 Marsannay Clos du Roy has a well-defined bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. Like a couple of other reds, it almost seems as if there is some whole bunch in here. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite light in style and needing a little more flesh on the finish. I suspect that will come during its barrel maturation.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
