Description
The Jean-Jacques Girard Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos du Roi' showcases a captivating, fruity nose that invites with its lush aromas. This elegant and subtle wine reveals the crunchy charm of fresh grapes on the palate, complemented by delicate, peppery red fruit notes. Mid cherry red in appearance, it strikes a balance between inviting fragrance and taut dryness, offering a harmonious profile that leans slightly leaner than its Savigny counterparts. The finish features a fine bitter-cherry aftertaste, showcasing good length and potential for ageing. With tight tannins that require time to soften, this wine pairs beautifully with white meats such as poultry and veal, as well as red or braised meats, and game with hair or feathers. Jancis Robinson awarded it 16.5 points.

JANCIS ROBINSON 16.5 points
Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Delicate, peppery red fruits, so inviting and fragrant. Taut and dry on the palate, a little leaner than the Savignys but still harmonious. Fine bitter-cherry aftertaste and good length. Tight tannins need longer too. (JH)
