Tasting notes
Medium red. Aromas of cherry, licorice and flowers. Flavors of redcurrant, iron and spices are supported by a firm spine of acidity and tannins. Still, this saline, earthy wine should evolve fairly quickly.

Quite intense but rustic. Not a charmer! (JR)
Healthy deep red. Sweet redcurrant and spices complemented by a note of dark chocolate on the expressive nose. Fresh, supple flavors of red fruits and flowers show good sweetness, with ripe tannins virtually invisible in the early going.
A blend of several lieux-dits intended as a representation of the appellation, the 2014 Marsannay Villages has a generous nose with a touch of leather infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is well balanced with the new oak (30% to 40%) needing more time to be fully subsumed. But there is more than enough fruit to soak that up with time and as such, I would afford it a couple of years once in bottle.
