Burghound, April 2007, Score: 92-95
Comment: "Sweet Spot"In contrast to the relatively open nose of the Bressandes, the Clos du Roi is brooding, reserved and somber though the most black and dark berry fruit aromas are ripe and spicy and this spice character continues onto the rich, power and robust flavors that are supported by a balanced core of sap and an extremely firm but not hard core of tannins. This is a big wine yet it remains relatively refined and is clearly built for the long haul.

Region
Corton
The Grands Crus of Corton, a red made from Pinot Noir, and Corton Charlemagne, a white made from Chardonnay are shared between Aloxe-Corton, Ladoix Serrigny and Pernand Vergelesses. The vines for both are planted on the hillsides underneath the plateau of Corton's woodland forest. The majorityof Pinot Noir is planted in the southern and eastern sector where the soil is naturally rich with red iron clay giving additional body and power. Overall, the wines from these areas tend to be fruit forward and fleshy with a balance of round edges and fine concentration.
