Marsannay, Les Vaudenelles, 2019

This is one of the most complete Vaudenelles we’ve tasted, the lower yields giving this a sense of density and volume that is not always present in this cuvee. Engaging, fruit forward with ripe cherry and autumn raspberry, but crucially finishing fresh. There’s some wine here. Fermented with 20% whole bunches and aged in predominantly used oak barrels. Vaudenelles is a relatively high Marsannay vineyard whose white marl soils produce fine- grained elegant wines that can often be approached relatively young.
