Not terribly expressive on the nose at the time of tasting, and broad and fat on the palate. Not the most vibrant, perhaps, but there’s good length and concentration. It needs a year to settle – then might be worthy of a higher score. An 80-year-old parcel of Marsanne grown on loess and alluvial terrasses. Aged on the fine lees in 400-litre barrels, 45% new, 35% second-use, 20% third-use, for eight months with regular bâttonage.
