2021 Marchand & Burch Marsannay
$115.00
Marsannay is the only appellation village in Burgundy which produces wines from all three colours: red, white and rosé. Their typicity is that of the Côte de Nuits, and their style resemble that of their neighbouring appellations Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin.
In the glass this wine is lifted and energetic, with sappy red fruits and a spiced undertow. Bright, open-handed drinking that will feel familiar to anyone raised on cool-climate Australian Pinot Noir
Burgundy, France
TASTING NOTE
Vintage
The 2021 vintage provides a window into the typicity of the Marsannay appellation – lower crop yields due to early season frosts allowed for an even and gradual ripening period and a hand-harvest on the optimum morning in early September. Aromas of wild strawberry and red plums preview a palate interlaced with red fruits and a lively acidity with blood orange undertones. This is an elegant wine with understated but undeniable presence, and spicy, saline tannins prolong the fruit-filled finish. Decant to drink young or cellar for a few years.
Food Match
Pair with a salad of coconut braised duck, papaya, pineapple, lychees and glass noodles.
Recommended Cellaring
Drink now and over the next 5 years.
