Tasting notes
The 2015 Marsannay offers up notes of creamy wild berry fruit, dried flowers, licorice and smoky new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, polished palate with fine tannins and juicy fruit. Even this bottling, the entry to Roty's range of Marsannay cuvées, will benefit from a few years of bottle age in this structured, concentrated vintage.

Bright medium-dark red. Very ripe, spicy aromas of raspberry, strawberry and licorice. Boasts serious energy, thickness and sappy concentration, although the wine's spicy oak element is slightly intrusive today. A bit closed on the very ripe, lightly saline finish.
Bright ruby-red. Aromas of blackberry, licorice and minerals lifted by a violet topnote. Juicy and penetrating, with its savory black fruit flavors conveying a lovely combination of sweetness and natural acidity. Seriously concentrated entry-level Marsannay with real length.
(from all 3 sectors of the appellation). Mild reduction and wood make for difficult to read nose today. By contrast there is both good verve and detail to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality while exhibiting fine length on the firm and serious but not especially rustic or austere finale.
