2019 Beaune 1er Cru Clos du Roi Domaine Tawse

50% whole bunch, 30% new oak. The only plot within Clos du Roi that is an actual walled clos. Pascal Marchand thinks this may have been the original ‘clos of the king’. 
“Bright, light crimson. Not too sweet, and with a certain delicacy of fruit – although one is very much aware of spicy oak in the background.”

16+/20 Jancis Robinson MW

“The 2019 Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru I includes 50% whole bunch and 30% new oak. Pascal Marchand said that this is an example of “infusion” winemaking, not seeing many punchdowns during cuvaison. The bouquet is very perfumed; cracked black pepper and tertiary aromas slightly occlude the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, leading to an elegant, peppery finish. Very much a lighter style from Tawse. I am not sure it has long-term potential but that is a moot point as it is so delicious.”
