November 4, 2022 - Beautiful dark and red cherry fruit balanced perfectly by lots of earth and herbs. Silky texture with a long finish. This wine tonight is hitting well above its level and $25 price point. Delicious, great effort.
Likely peaking, but no signs of fading. Drink 2023-2030.
October 8, 2021 - Resplendissant ce soir!
Bouchon en parfaite condition sur celui-ci.
Encore une certaine énergie, mais souple dans l’ensemble.
À boire!
October 28, 2020 - Belle tenue mais en phase d’évolution avancée.
Boire sans tarder...

Light brick rim showing some age. Nose doesn't confirm any extra development. Wine has reached its peak maturity. Good fruit concentration. Red forest berries: raspberry. Thus. Rustic. Both primary and secondary aromas are present.
Weak on the mid-palate if you compare to bigger Cote de Nuits. But for lesser appellation as Marsannay and its only village level, I think the result is superb!
With some time in the glass it opens up and gains fragrance and holds freshness.
Develops to menthol and camphor.
Very good and classic expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir.
Drink now till 2025.
Marsannay is home village for Domaine Bart. I personally adore this less known producer. Run by Pierre Bart, 6th generation of Domaine. Pierre's grandmother comes from the same family as Domaine Bruno Clair.
Style changed significantly from his father's. Now less oak. All about fruits and freshness.
Their Grand Cru wines from Bonnes Mares and Clos de Bèze is another great story to tell.
May 6, 2019 - Good fruit, structure, acidity. Drinking well - good value for the price point.
September 15, 2018 - Très assoupli déjà.
Fort bon, Mme K adore...
pas pour la longue garde par ailleurs.
Pour le plaisir d’ici 2020 environ...
July 30, 2015 - Cherries bacon and mintiness on nose. Dirty cherry, slightly sour flavors with very nice acid. pleasantly surprised given low hit rate of good burgundy under $30
August 4, 2014 - 13% d'alcool, 100% Pinot Noir
Oeil : opacité 3+/10, passablement coloré pour un PN, forte viscosité en parois, larmes lentes à se former, épaisses et lentes à descendre...
Nez : après 2 heures d'aération, projection d'intensité 3/10, griotte, cerise noire, épices douces, noix de Grenoble, petit côté floral difficile à cerner, thym, boisé noble, touche empyrheumatique rappelant le café et la suie, superbe...
Bouche : sec, ample+, très beau touché de bouche, acidité rafraîchissante, amertume moyenne et juste, tanins fins et plutôt charnus, persistance plutôt longue, rétro fruitée, épicée, boisée, empyrheumatique, pointe végétale
Conclusion : à carafer impérativement, au moins 2 heures actuellement, et boire sur les 2 heures suivantes. Nez un peu sur la retenue, superbe bouche par ailleurs. Difficile de résister... À revoir en 2016.
89-90+
September 4, 2013 - Edgy fruit with lots of cut and finely textured, with a mineral undertone. Especially well-composed on day two. Nice wine for a decent price.
