Domaine JEAN FOURNIER Marsannay "Clos du Roy" 2020 (White)

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Chardonnay

Tasting notes: "From vines planted at elevated densities, the 2020 Marsannay Clos du Roy Blanc exhibits notes of white flowers, citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with bright acids and a saline, mineral finish, it shows plenty of promise." - Willam Kelley, The Wine Advocate
