Château de Marsannay
Marsannay, Clos du Roy, 2013
justerini & brooks tasting note
Lovely luminous ruby colour. Just two barrels produced from one of Marsannay's finest vineyards. Incense and spice combine with taut red fruit, rosehip and redcurrant. This is a delightful, but also serious Marsannay. A cuvee made from a plot of 70 year old vines.
critic reviews
87/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Medium bright red. Slightly diffuse aromas of cherry, strawberry, spices and earth. Riper and more penetrating than the basic Marsannay bottling, showing decent intensity and inner-mouth lift to the flavors of dark cherry, spices and herbs. Still a bit spiky with acidity but this wine has decent material to support its tannins. Not bad. (Unfortunately, my sample of the Marsannay Les Longeroies was corked.)
