Note di degustazione
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Clos du Roy offers up aromas of dark berries, flowers and licorice intertwined with delicate oaky notes. Less concentrated and rustic than usual, it's medium to full-bodied and layered with a dense core of fruit and velvety tannins, finishing long and penetrating. This is an impressive effort.

I love the nose on the 2022 Clos Du Roy, a ripe, broad, impressive 2022 that has sweet cassis and black cherry fruits, nicely integrated oak, medium to full body, and building yet ripe, balanced tannins. It’s an incredibly impressive Fronsac that has the fruit and texture to shine today as well as the balance and structure to evolve for 10-12+ years.
The 2022 Clos du Roy still has a slightly reduced nose, but it is packed with blackberry and cassis fruit that should open with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit and fine acidity. There's good mineralité here with a nicely proportioned finish. This is promising.
The 2022 Clos du Roy is a difficult wine to taste, as it was en primeur . Hard, angular contours and heavy torrefaction notes from oak are impossible to get past.
