Marsannay, Blanc, Cuvée Source des Roches, 2017
justerini & brooks tasting note
A very limestoney, minerally Marsannay. This offers a lively, clear stony character encircled by gentle yellow plums fruit. Attractive and engaging fruit with genuine terroir character to boot. 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.

The 2017 Marsannay Les Sources des Roches Blanc, matured in foudres, offers a pineapple and lime bouquet, tropical notes becoming stronger with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant fatness on the entry, quite gras in style, and a waxy, resinous finish. Fine.
