The 2014 Marsannay Clos du Roy Blanc had been on the lees in stainless steel vat since the harvest and will be bottled next spring. It has a complex nose, potent with arresting leesy aromas as you would expect, but behind that lies some feisty tropical fruit. The palate is well balanced with a harmonious texture, lightly honeyed with a tang of spice, extremely well judged acidity and great weight on the finish. If you misguidedly think that Marsannay cannot produce top class white wine, try this.
