Marsannay, Les Vaudenelles, 2023
A very pretty nose. Floral and sweet fruited with fine red berries and a touch of peach. Ultra-transparent in a lovely delicate backlit style. Not big, but oh so lovely and likely to drink well from the off. 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.
critic reviews
Aromas of dark berries, cherries and orange zest introduce the 2023 Marsannay Les Vaudenelles, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated wine with lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins.
The 2023 Marsannay Les Vaudenelles has a punchy nose with black cherries and boysenberry fruit. The palate is a little hard on the entry, with crisp, slightly edgy tannins and a little austerity on the finish that should fill out during élevage. Fine.
