Marsannay, Les Longeroies, 2020

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

More nerve and backbone than the Vaudenelles with tense, taut fruit. Crisp and crunchy with notes of fresh hedgerow berry fruit, hints of undergrowth and a light dusting of salt. Serious crisp and complex, ageworthy Marsannay. A first rate Marsannay vineyard planted on poor soil, situated mid slope, it is one of the prime candidates for elevation to Premier Cru status, a process Marsannay vignerons have got well under way. Fermented with 50% whole bunches and aged in predominantly used oak barrels.

critic reviews

88-90/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2020 Marsannay Les Longeroies has a crisp blackberry and cranberry-scented nose with light touches of sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied, the stem addition noticeable yet integrated on the entry, just tapering off a little towards the finish. Fine, but maybe not long-term.
