Description

This is a blend of vineyards around Marsannay, along with 10- to 30-year-old vines from the best sites of Clos du Roy, Longeroies and Es Chezots, aged in 500-litre barrels. There’s 30% whole-bunch this year; the wine is fresh, juicy and straightforward, with no suggestion of heat or drought. It’s a welcoming introduction to the joys of Marsannay.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 87-89/100
(the name refers to a small tower located just behind the domaine; the fruit comes from 6 different lieux-dits). There is sufficient reduction to overshadow the underlying fruit. By contrast there is good freshness to the sleek, intense and delicious medium weight flavors that possess a lovely texture on the lingering and slightly rustic finale. 2026+allen_meadows, burghound_com.com (Jan 2022)

Includes a new planting of chardonnay rose, the version which has a mildly pinkish bloom to the skin colour. Pretty lemon and lime. This has more character than I remember from past vintages, probably more a tribute to 2020 than the addition of the rose. Fills the mouth and leaves an excellent aftertaste. Just a little point of acidity but otherwise a notable succulence.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (January 2022)
