This 13-acre Premier Cru vineyard is located at the northern end of Beaune, and grows on well-drained low slopes covered with rocks. It is an early climat which produces beautifully ripe grapes and full-bodied fruity wines with silky tannins. The "Clos du Roi" holds its name from History facts; it refers to the period when King Louis XI annexed the plot and declared it his property when Charles The Bold died in 1477. In addition, the Climat bears the name "Clos" for it still hold traces of the stone walls that enclosed originally the plot.

Hand-picked, the grapes are sorted in the vineyard and then again in the winery on a table. The grapes are then 100% de-stemmed but not crushed, so they are placed whole in wooden vats by gravity. Maceration lasts around 3 weeks, with regular punching down of the cap. No oenological products (such as yeasts, enzymes or tannins) are added to avoid altering this precious terroir. The wine is aged for 16 months in barrels without racking (30% new barrels).

Colour: An elegant cherry red dress, intense and bright

Nose: The bouquet shows frank and powerful aromas of blackberries with delicate vanilla notes.

Palate: Full-bodied and rich in the mouth, with very present yet silky tannins and spicy notes in the finish.
