Chateau Marsannay, Bourgogne Montre Cul other_regions_australia my sample of the '99

my sample of the '99 Cuvee Imperiale was plagued by a raw wood quality that dried its finish

plus hints of pencil shavings

sensual and powerful to the core

There is excellent energy to the sleek middle weight flavors that possess even better depth on the equally youthfully austere finish

The 2014 Moonlight Race Pinot Noir has a high-toned red cherry and soy-tinged bouquet that feels a little one-dimensional

Chateau Marsannay, Bourgogne Montre Cul other_regions_australia my sample of the '99(30% whole clusters). A cool, pure and more elegant array is comprised by notes of red and dark berry along with hints of earth and floral wisps. The sleek, delicious and attractively intense flavors possess a bit more mid palate density while offering slightly better depth and persistence. This is a lovely Bourgogne that should reward a few years of bottle aging. Recommended. 87 2021+
