91 points “Aromas of rich blackberry and cassis fruit mingled with hints of licorice and peonies preface the 2020 Marsannay Clos du Roy (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, lively wine with an ample core of fruit and youthfully chewy structuring tannins. This is a touch more tightly wound than its 2019 predecessor.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
91 points “Spicy, with black cherry, blackberry, graphite and vegetal flavours allied to dense, grainy texture. Pure, gaining detail and definition as this plays out on the long aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2033.” - Wine Spectator
The Marsannay Close du Roy is a delicate and robust expression of Pinot Noir and is celebrated as the pinnacle of the appellation. It delivers mature and refined character infused with noble, fruity style.
The dark, brilliant red Clos du Roy bursts with fragrant Morello cherry aromas alongside red fruit coulis and nuances of pepper and wood. The first sip offers a rich structure with dense, ripe fruit, velvety tannins and an oakiness that perfectly complements the wine’s body. Enjoy paired with coq au vin, pan fried Saltimbocca, beef stew or chicken dishes. This fine expression from Marsannay is a great vintage with potential to age beautifully over the next 10 years. As a candidate to become a Premier Cru appellation in the future, the Clos du Roy is a bottle well worth investing in.
