Tasting notes
The 2019 Marsannay Clos du Roy (Domaine Gagey) unwinds in the glass with notes of cherries, cassis and plums, framed by a deft touch of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, round and gourmand, with succulent acids and velvety tannins, it's very charming in profile.

The 2019 Marsannay Clos du Roy has a light and quite floral bouquet of violet-tinged red fruit; maybe just a hint of volatility here. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit. This sample came across a little oakier than I would have liked on the entry. Hopefully that will be absorbed by the time of bottling.

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.
