2017 Christophe Jolivet Marsannay

Pinot Noir more

Unfortunately overshadow by the other (and I assume) more expensive burgundies surrounding it. With some earthy spicy (maybe stem inclusion?) notes to it. Not on the delicate side of Marsannay.

Disgorgement date was January 2018. And this was delicious. With a fine line and cut on the acidity and also great toasty notes and always that Le Mesnil smell. Beautiful.
