Over het wijnhuis | Château Clos du Roy komt pas net kijken in de wijnwereld. Tenminste, als je het vergelijkt met sommige beroemde buren die al eeuwen wijn produceren. De eerste echte botteling van Château Clos du Roy vond plaats in 1970. Voor die tijd werden de druiven verkocht aan handelsbedrijven in de omgeving. Het château is in handen van Vignobles Hermouet, die het in 1987 kochten. |

Awards | "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Clos du Roy has quite an oaky/cedary nose to begin, soon giving way to vibrant black cherries, warm plums and ripe blackberries scents with touches of tobacco leaf and new leather. Full-bodied, big, rich and concentrated (15% alcohol), the palate exudes black fruit preserves and spicy accents, framed by firm, ripe, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a minty note." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Black and blue fruit, dried herbs, bark, hazelnuts and vanilla on the nose. Olives and oyster shells, too. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Rich and fruity with a chewy finish. Merlot and cabernet franc. Drink after 2023." - James Suckling "The 2019 Clos du Roy has an intense bouquet of marine-tinged black fruit, though I get the feeling that it’s already beginning to close down. The palate is medium-bodied and concentrated, with firm tannins, plenty of black fruit and impressive structure on the finish. Very fine, but give it a couple of years in bottle." - Vinous "Limestone austerity comes through pretty strongly on the attack in the form of a slate and crushed stone texture, followed by plenty of freshly cut herbs and fairly subdued raspberry and blueberry fruit, with touches of richer and more mellow pie crust as it opens up. This is a classic well-balanced Fronsac with a ton of appellation typicity. Vignobles Hermouet. 33% new oak. Drinking Window 2022 - 2032" - Decanter |
