The Clos du Roy, which dates back as far as the thirteenth century, was considered by Jules Lavalle (1855) to produce wines that "deserve a most honourable place among the most excellent wines”. The 30-year-old vines on the estate are on a 0.60 hectare plot (1.48 acres). The Chardonnay grape variety finds its perfect terroir here, where a thick layer of calcareous gravel (limestone scree, or grèzes litées) overlies a deep marly subsoil/substratum. This warm early-ripening climat brings to the wine notes of ripe apricot, citrus fruits, white flowers, and even a hint of honey. The ample texture is counterbalanced by mineral tension, with a saline finish that brings a nice balance to this wide wine. The white Marsannay Clos du Roy is an elegant wine with a strong personality, which can easily be kept for 5 to 10 years in order to reveal its full potential. The grapes are pressed for 4 hours to gently extract the must. Both fermentations take place in barrels. The wine is aged for 18 months in 600 L barrels. This wine can be served with trout steak in butter sauce, veal stew with cream, sea scallop carpaccio, or rack of veal with morels /morel mushrooms, for example.

Varietal: Chardonnay

In the past couple of decades, the sales of wines made with Chardonnay grapes has risen and fallen more than once. For many people, this green skinned grape was marred by a poor reputation for bland and uninteresting wines, a great shame considering the fact that Chardonnay grapes have proven time and time again to be interesting, versatile and full of surprises. Most commonly, fine Chardonnay wines are buttery, smooth and creamy as a result of malolactic fermentation, yet with hints of tropical fruits and orchard fruits such as apples and pears. What is most remarkable about Chardonnay grapes, however, is the fact that unlike many other 'white' grapes, they are exceptionally good at holding the characteristics of their terroir in the bottle. As such, despite their fluctuating reputation, this is one grape varietal which produces constantly surprising, impressive and varied wines.

Region: Burgundy

The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
