Marsannay Rouge - Domaine Bruno Clair - Marsannay - Red Wine 2023 (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Produced on the hillsides of Marsannay, at the northern tip of the Côte de Nuits, this 2023 Marsannay Rouge perfectly embodies the philosophy of Domaine Bruno Clair: precision, authenticity and elegance. A transitional terroir between the power of Gevrey-Chambertin and the finesse of Fixin, Marsannay produces superbly balanced wines that are both approachable in their youth and capable of ageing gracefully. This 2023 vintage, characterised by fine ripeness and a healthy harvest, offers an expressive and luminous Pinot Noir. The deep garnet colour heralds a vibrant nose of fresh red and black fruits — morello cherry, blackberry, raspberry — enhanced by subtle notes of sweet spices, violet and emerging undergrowth. On the palate, the wine captivates with its fine, juicy texture, an elegant tannic structure and perfectly controlled freshness. The balance between the density of the fruit and the natural tension of the terroir results in a harmonious, straightforward and precise wine. The ageing, carried out in Burgundian-style oak barrels (including a measured proportion of new wood), adds a touch of roundness without ever overpowering the fruit. The result: a Marsannay of beautiful depth, both indulgent and distinguished, a faithful reflection of the Bruno Clair style — purity above all. Enjoy now for its vibrancy and directness, or after 5 to 7 years of ageing for greater complexity. It pairs perfectly with roast duck breast, rack of veal, grilled poultry or a mature soft cheese.
