Lucien Le Moine Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2022

A king among Corton wines

Lucien Le Moine Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2022 represents some of the best from Burgundy. Clos du Roi is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards on the Corton hill in the Côte de Beaune, an area historically reserved for the French kings – hence the name. The wine combines power, elegance and complexity at a level found only in the greatest wines.

Smell and taste

The color is intense ruby ​​red. The nose is deep and seductive with aromas of ripe red and dark berries – cherries, blackcurrants and raspberries – complemented by violets, forest floor and subtle spices from the barrel aging.

The palate is rich and structured with both powerful fruit and precise, elegant acidity. The tannins are silky but marked, giving an impressive backbone. The finish is long and nuanced with mineral notes, spices and a hint of truffle, which testify to the wine's great terroir.

Storage potential

Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2022 is a wine with exceptional aging potential. It can be enjoyed young for its intense fruit and energy, but over time will develop greater complexity with notes of leather, forest floor and dried fruits – a wine that can be cellared for 15–25 years.

Food pairing

This wine demands dishes with depth and finesse. It is an ideal companion to game, beef tenderloin, lamb or refined mushroom dishes with truffles. It can also be enjoyed with selected, aged cheeses, where the wine's structure balances the fullness of the cheese.
