    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Bruno Clair, Marsannay, Les Vaudenelles, 2018

    The deepest, most perfectly-formed Vaudenelles we can remember tasting. Typically crisp and fresh with crunchy fruit notes of plum and cherry, yet with more underlying power and structure than usual. It has a depth and flesh to counteract the racy forest berry and stony mineral flavours. Marsannay of ripeness and verve. Fermented with 30% whole bunches and aged in predominantly used oak barrels.

    ABV:
    13%
    89-91/100

    The 2018 Marsannay Les Vaudenelles was one of the earliest picked at the domaine. It comes across quite reduced on the nose, but the palate is well balanced, with oodles of Pinoté - so transparent and lively that you could almost drink this now. Beautiful, albeit not long-term!
