Chateau Marsannay, Bourgogne Montre Cul Vintage:2017 deep fruit

deep fruit

this appears to have excellent underlying material and thus my score offers the benefit of the doubt

graphite and sous-bois

here too there is an initial note of bourgeon de cassis though considerable eventually coaxes the intensely floral-suffused aromas of spicy jasmine tea

It shows restraint and balance in the mouth like no other—the whole bunch lends a peaty character to the wine and balances the beautiful red and black fruit in the mouth

Chateau Marsannay, Bourgogne Montre Cul Vintage:2017 deep fruit(30% whole clusters). A cool, pure and more elegant array is comprised by notes of red and dark berry along with hints of earth and floral wisps. The sleek, delicious and attractively intense flavors possess a bit more mid palate density while offering slightly better depth and persistence. This is a lovely Bourgogne that should reward a few years of bottle aging. Recommended. 87 2021+
