2024 Pierre-Olivier Garcia, Marsannay, Clos du Roy

Pierre-Olivier Garcia established his domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 2016, prioritizing biodiverse farming practices to restore health to his vineyard sites. This bottling is made from Pinot Noir grown in the iron-rich, gravelly soils of the northernmost Marsannay lieu-dit, Clos du Roy. In the glass, the wine offers precise aromas of crunchy red fruits, floral notes, and fine tannins with a structured, persistent mouthfeel. The 2024 vintage presented significant growing challenges in Burgundy, resulting in a restrained, terroir-focused profile that emphasizes clarity and freshness. Its inherent tension and mineral focus make it a compelling bottle to enjoy now or cellar for further development.
