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 purple-black colored, the 2020 Clos du Roy leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of black cherries, baked plums and mossy tree bark, with wafts of wild mushrooms and chargrill. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a rock-solid structure of grainy tannins and bold freshness to support the generous black fruit, finishing earthy." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A juicy red with blackberry, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Round tannins. Chewy at the end. Needs time to soften. Try after 2026." - James Suckling "The 2020 Clos du Roy has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, briary and light sous-bois aromas, classic in style and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. Touches of graphite infuse the black fruit with a nicely proportioned and quite persistent finish. Excellent. " - 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." - Decanter |
