Tasting notes
Named after Cyril’s great-grandmother and hailing from several old vine parcels of Marsannay village, the Cuvée Marie Ragonneau bursts from the glass with aromas of cherry, raspberry and a touch of undergrowth. The wine is supple, juicy and vibrant, with fine tannins and a lovely line of acidity.

Lightly vegetal aromas and firmer red fruit intensity on the palate with a little tannic bite to give ageability. Finishes with peppery spice. (RH)
A more deeply pitched nose features notes of earth and the sauvage that adds depth to the aromas of violet, plum and dark cherry. The richer and more voluminous flavors possess a caressing and rounded mouthfeel before terminating in a lingering and solidly complex finish. To enjoy young.
