Punches way above most Marsannay. Still very dark, quite powerful with black cherry and some plums. The minerality softens this a bit, lacking the ferrous punch that serious Cote de Nuits have, leading to an almost velvety palate and nice powdery tannins. Excellent.

Superb value, with a massive whack of terroir here. Lots of black fruits but layered over a soily, gritty, earthy base - it smells like damp soil and dirt and the touch of the winemaker. Great stuff.

Lovely dark and rich mineral nose - really speaks of its origins; good concentration on the palate, lots of flavour. Excellent.

Aromatic cooking spices alongside dark Pinot noir fruits. Rich and impressive; smooth, lovely texture. Bright acidity, very fresh. Good structure.
