With its 37.7 ha, it is the largest Grand Cru climate on the Côte de Nuits after the Clos-Vougeot. Coating the Grands-Echézeaux, it deploys a varied morphology that multiplies the exposures and geological nuances and which, joined with a large number of producers, gives a wide variety of styles. The Château de Marsannay offers us a little wonder. An elegant, intense and complex wine with a deep and dark red color. Typical of its youth, the nose releases aromas of sumptuously rich and seductive black fruit with a large volume and a beautiful structure in the mouth. The tannins are supple with a tasty roundness and the finish long and fruity.
A magnificent olfactory complexity and great finesse will reward the dozen years of aging in the cellar.
A cream pheasant will offer this wine among the largest and most elegant the appropriate tribute.
Jasper Morris: 92-95/100
