Magnum Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Bel Air 2017, Château de Marsannay

This plot of about 4 hectares is ideally located at the top of the hill, above the magnificent Clos-de-Beze, dean of the Burgundian Clos and next to the Grand Cru Ruchottes-Chambertin.
Dress with a bright ruby and a great clarity. Wine with aromas perfectly defined of black fruits and spices. With the flexibility that characterizes the 2017 vintage, it is creamy and suave at first, then it reveals chew with a structured body indicating virility behind the charm.

Tasting :
It will gain in substance over the years and will reach its peak magnificent, silky and fragrant after ten years.

Pairings :
It will be a companion of choice for a rack of lamb or, with a little evolution, for a tasty estouffade of partridge.

Awards :
Jasper Morris : 91/100; Bettane & Desseauve 2020: 17/20; The World of Fine Wine : 91/100
