Tasting notes
(just half of a normal crop in 2016): Medium red. Sauvage aromas of dark raspberry, leather and game. Tightly wound but with a touch of sweetness to its flavors of raspberry, leather and licorice. Finishes with dusty tannins and a repeating leathery nuance but also good raspberry and licorice intensity.

The 2016 Marsannay comes from three parcels in Chouchey (40% of the vines) and two near Les Grasses-Têtes. There is 30% whole bunch. It has a well-defined, quite expressive bouquet with blackberry, briary and subtle sous-bois scents, maybe just a touch of mushroom. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red fruit, crisp tannin and superb focus and vibrancy toward the finish. You can feel energy coiled up inside this Marsannay!
