La Bouche du Roi Ile de France IGP La Voie Royale Pinot Noir 2023
Vivid and bright aromatics, translucent pale ruby in colour, great precision, the tannins are present and fresh, with slate texture on the finish. Love the balance, rose petals with white tea and sappy red fruit character on display. A lovely Pinot. Certified organic since 2021. Aged for 12 months but in the ceramic Clayver eggs. 20% whole bunch fermentation.

La Bouche du Roi Ile de France IGP Coquilles Rouge Cabernet Franc 2023
Fragrant, spicy, leafy, good Cabernet Franc, with typicity. There is an intensity here, floral peony bud with white pepper and gunsmoke, savoury and juicy. Harvest October 20. Certified organic since 2021. The name in this instance comes from the vineyard's location on the pimgrimage route St Jacques de Compostelle.

La Bouche du Roi Ile de France IGP Les Trois Corneilles Merlot 2023
The biggest agronomical gamble for plantings in northern France in my opinion, but the team started their careers in Bordeaux, and wanted to try planting Merlot. This is gentle, welcoming, with rose buds, crushed strawberries, soft white pepper spice, a little austere on the finish but with fine tannins through the mid palate that hold everything in place. 15% in barrel, the rest in stainless steel. Certified organic since 2021.

La Bouche du Roi Ile de France IGP La Voie Royale Merlot 2023
Mint leaf, ripe plum fruits, redcurrant, cocoa bean, plenty of density through the mid palate. Austere on the finish, but with the confidence to allow ageing. As things open in the glass, riper summery fruits appears, and this has plenty to enjoy. Perhaps less of a jump up at the Voie Royale level than with the Chardonnay and Chenin versions. Certified organic since 2021. Vinified in stainless steel, aged in ceramic, unoaked.
