Jean Michel Giboulot Beaune Clos du Roi ler Cru

Jean‑Michel Giboulot Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru 2021 opens with lifted, cool‑toned aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, layered with violet, rose petal, and a fine chalk‑and‑iron minerality that reflects this historic, upper‑slope premier‑cru site. The palate is vibrant, supple, and quietly powerful, offering pure red‑berry fruit supported by lively acidity and refined, silky tannins that give the wine both lift and depth. Subtle notes of cranberry, dried herbs, and crushed stone add nuance without interrupting the wine’s elegant, delicately sculpted core. The finish is long, fresh, and lightly savory, showcasing a poised, transparent Clos du Roi shaped by the cool precision and classical balance of the 2021 vintage.
