Savoury red cherry and mulberry fruit lead in this 2021 Clos du Roy from Sylvain Pataille, layered with subtle floral tones and a touch of earth. The palate is compact and structured, with firm yet refined tannins and a long, mouthwatering finish that reflects the site’s stony character. This is a serious, ageworthy Marsannay that will gain polish and nuance with time in bottle.

Clos du Roy from Domaine Sylvain Pataille is a biodynamically farmed Marsannay from one of the appellation’s most revered vineyards, on stony, iron‑tinged limestone slopes once owned by the Dukes of Burgundy. Typically 100% Pinot Noir (with rare Aligoté Doré and Chardonnay bottlings from the same climat), it marries vivid red and dark berry fruit with floral, spicy and distinctly mineral notes, delivered in a finely etched, energetic frame that often rivals premier cru Côte de Nuits in depth and finesse.
