The 2019 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru comes from just under half a hectare of vines and is matured with 35% whole bunch. It has a well-defined bouquet that is earthier than Vougeraie’s other crus, conveying a little more energy than the Premier Crus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, the stems imparting a touch of pepperiness, and the finish is quite tensile, displaying good persistence. This is an elegant Clos du Roi that should age well in bottle.
