Tasting note |
Ruby red in colour with raspberry and earthy aromas on the nose. In the
mouth this Marsannay is medium bodied and fleshy; mellow tannins and good acidity provide a pleasing backbone. The wine has flavours of ripe blackberries, red plums and minerality which all end with a rounded, lingering finish.

Awards and Accolades |
Tom Cannavan, www.wine-pages.com, Aug 2012From the southerly (Côte Chalonnaise) village of Mercurey, this has a reasonably deep cherry/crimson colour and nose that has clear cherry fruit, a touch of graphite and subtle spiciness. It seems tight and focused, without the sous-bois character of the Marsannay at this stage. Filled with charming, ripe red berry and cherry fruit on the palate, it has firm but easy-going tannins and fresh acidity, making it an extremely elegant wine in a youthful, clean-cut style. 89/100. |
