Marsannay, Blanc, Cuvée Source des Roches, 2015
justerini & brooks tasting note
Lovely crisp orchard fruit, ripe flavours but with a more digest and tense character than the regular Marsannay, distinctive notes of limestone, crushed rocks and mineral make for a refreshing, fine and savoury finish. A selection of parcels from the higher slopes of Marsannay where the soils are poor and extremely stony. A blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Blanc age in a mixture of tank and oak foudres.

83-85/100Neal Martin,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2015 Marsannay "Source des Roches" Blanc has better delineation than the Marsannay Blanc. The palate is balanced with light orange zest and honeyed notes, the acidity a little low, but it retains satisfactory focus and freshness on the finish.
