Marsannay Vieilles Vignes Clos du Roy René Bouvier (Domaine) 2008

The wine

This Marsannay Vieilles Vignes offers a discreet nose with aromas of black fruit, enhanced by floral and spicy notes. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and supple, with a peppery finish.

In the family for 3 generations, Domaine René Bouvier is today run by Bernard Bouvier. It has 17 hectares of vines and 18 appellations, ranging from Marsannay to Gevrey-Chambertin. The domaine covers, like many wine growers in the region, a wide range of grand crus, premier crus, villages and regional appellations. Despite the differences, the entire range has been certified organic since 2013. The age of the vines (up to 90 years old) gives these wines a complex character. This area has made considerable progress in recent years, notably thanks to finer extractions than before.
