Maranges 1er Cru Le Clos des Rois 2023 - Nicolas Perrault
From the wine estate
The Wine:
Domaine Nicolas Perrault’s Maranges 1er Cru "Le Clos des Rois" is a fine red wine from the Côte de Beaune, crafted entirely from the Pinot Noir grape variety. This *climat*—highly regarded among the appellation's Premier Crus—yields a wine with a distinctive, assertive character. On the palate, it reveals a deep garnet-red hue and a profound aromatic bouquet, blending ripe dark fruits (such as blackberry and black cherry) with spicy notes and subtle hints of forest floor. Nicolas Perrault’s winemaking highlights a solid, fleshy, and full-bodied structure, supported by tannins that are both intense and seamlessly integrated. It is a wine of character that balances power with a lovely, fresh finish. With excellent aging potential (typically 6 to 10 years, depending on the vintage), it pairs beautifully with game, roasted red meats, or aged cheeses.
