Dubreuil Fontaine, Corton Clos Roi

Dubreuil Fontaine, Corton Clos Roi(from a . 62 ha parcel).

There is actually a bit less density to the more finely textured and tautly muscular flavors that exude a pungent minerality on the dusty, long and equally compact finish that should also reward a decade plus of keeping.
