Regis Bouvier Marsannay Clos du Roy Rouge, Cote de Nuits, France 2020 Cantine Dei the Paillard NV Extra-Brut BlancThe Clos du Roy has enjoyed a kingly reputation ever since the dukes of Burgundy, residing in nearby Dijon, sang, documented, and drank in its virtues. A gentle slope with rich clay and limestone soil and perfect exposition, it is one of Burgundys better kept secrets. Bouvier fashions a red from his parcel here that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.
