Tasting notes
Crunchy cherry-strawberry fruit aroma, just a hint of caramelly reduction. This tames Marsannay’s wild side without obliterating it. Persistent, characterful, very successful. (AH)

Aromas of blackberry and violet. Juicy and on the lean side, showing good cut to its black fruit and violet flavors. This wine only finished its malolactic fermentation in September; the rest of the 2013s finished between June and August.
The 2013 Marsannay les Longerois, a blend of two parcels, only finished its malolactic in middle of September and sees 20% new wood. It has a generous, mint and violet-scented bouquet with fine definition. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, mint-fresh blueberry and blackberry notes leading to a svelte, linear finish. This comes recommended - exactly what a Marsanny should be.
