2015 Marsannay Trois Terres Vieilles Vignes

The 2015 Marsannay Trois Terres Vieilles Vignes has a crisp and precise bouquet: dark cherries intermingling with bilberry and just a slight reductive scent although that seems to blows away. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, plenty of ripe black cherry and strawberry fruit that segues into a lightly spiced, harmonious, licorice-tinged finish. Enjoy this is lovely Marsannay over the next five to eight years. Readers should note that this will be the last vintage for this cuvée for a short period after the damage in 2016, and subsequent reorganization of holdings.
