The Story

Vineyard:
- Clos du Roy was recorded in the 14th Century as a gift to King Henry IV
- Tiny 3.7-acre, south-facing plot of Sauvignon Blanc vines.
- Natural amphitheater-shaped vineyard with steep slopes forming perfect microclimate for rich and complex wines.
- Classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils created from ancient oyster shells which gives signature chalky minerality in texture and aroma. Caillottes also reflect heat at night to enhance richness.
- Old, deep-rooted vines many of which date back to 1975.
