Domaine Regis Bouvier Description
Etymology: Roy is the ancient French spelling of Roi, meaning king. This Clos in Chenôve was originally called “Le Clos des Ducs”, as it was a possession of the Dukes of Burgundy. The vineyard was renamed Clos du Roy in 1477, after the defeat at Nancy of the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, and the subsequent annexation to the Kingdom of France of his lands.
Site: Clos du Roy is located in Chenôve. It is the northernmost lieu-dit in the Marsannay appellation.
Burghound: 88-91 Points
There is enough wood to merit pointing out on the cool, airy and pretty essence of red berry fruit, floral and discreet spice nuances. The focused, rich and generously proportioned middleweight flavors exude evident minerality on the lingering, balanced and lightly austere finale. Lovely and understated in style that should repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.
