justerini & brooks tasting note

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.

critic reviews

89-91/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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.

86-88/100Neal Martin,Vinous

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.
