Clos du Roy sits at the edge of Marsannay's limestone plateau—where high mineral content echoes Champagne's chalk beds—bringing intensity to this certified organic Chardonnay. The vineyard's northernmost position in the appellation builds precision and tension, while Sylvain Pataille's obsessive farming practices yield remarkable structure. This white demands attention for its mineral complexity and architectural elegance—a serious contender for Burgundy's best-value fine Chardonnay.
