Jean Fournier Marsannay 'Clos du Roy' Rouge 2018
$58.00Price
Harvested by hand from organic vineyards dating back 40, 50, and 70 years. 2018 Marsannay Clos du Roy has a perfumed bouquet of blackberry and raspberry fruit infused with blood orange and tangerine, playful and quite forward in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fresh from the start, with good grip and detail on the finish.
