2021 Domaine Sylvain Pataille, Marsannay, Clos du Roy 1x750ml

Vinous 92

The 2021 Marsannay Clos du Roy has a nicely poised bouquet with black cherry and mulberry fruit, floral scents emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with firm tannins, very saline with a briny finish. Excellent. [Neal Martin, 01/05/2023]

Anticipated maturity: 2025-2036

Robert Parker 92

“Scents of red berries, plums, licorice, potpourri and orange zest introduce the 2021 Marsannay Clos du Roy, a medium to full-bodied, bright and fleshy wine with powdery tannins, lively acids and a saline finish. A nicely balanced cuvée that’s neither the most extrovert nor the most structured bottling in the range, it will offer a broad drinking window.” [William Kelley, 01/31/2023]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2037
