Description
  • Beaune "Clos du Roi" is a small 13 hectare vineyard situated to the north of the appellation, and is without doubt one of the best parcels in Beaune. Owned by the dukes of Burgundy and highly favoured by the kings of France, this wine was regularly served at Versailles. During the 15th century upon the death of Charles le Téméraire, the final duke of Burgundy, this parcel of vines passed into the hands of the royal winemakers and therefore became Beaune 'Clos du Roi' (plot (of land) of the king). With a perfect south/south-easterly exposure, the vines are worked traditionally by the winemakers of Domaine Louis Latour.

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    Our Beaune 1er Cru "Clos du Roi" 2022 reveals a deep garnet-red color. The nose offers hints of blackberry and toasted almond. Ample and suave on the palate, it offers notes of black fruits, clove and mocha. Very nice persistence.
