The Clos du Roy has enjoyed a kingly reputation ever since the dukes of Burgundy, residing in nearby Dijon, sang, documented, and drank in its virtues. A gentle slope with rich clay and limestone soil and perfect exposition, it is one of Burgundy’s better-kept secrets. Bouvier fashions a red from his parcel here that is at once serious and gay, generous and firm, bold and elegant.\nThis full-bodied wine has the stuffing and structure to stand up to wild game, along with the freshness and vitality to pair it with much lighter fare.
