The Clos du Roy climat rests on particularly high-quality clay-limestone soils, benefiting from a favorable exposure that allows optimal ripening of the grapes. This terroir gives the wine assertive structure, marked aromatic depth and a remarkable capacity for ageing, making this cuvée one of the most sought-after in the appellation.

Conducted under certified organic farming, the vineyard is worked with great precision, respecting the life of the soil and the natural balance of the vines. Yields are strictly controlled and the grapes are harvested by hand to preserve the quality of the grapes and the identity of the climate.

In the cellar, vinification is carried out with rigor and moderation. Extractions are progressive and controlled to preserve the finesse of Pinot Noir while revealing the structure of the terroir.
