Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
The 2017 Marsannay Blanc reveals notes of pear, Meyer lemon, beeswax and wheat toast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural palate that's racy and incisive, concluding with a chalky, mineral finish. This is showing very well.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2017 Marsannay Blanc, which contains fruit from newly planted vines in Couchée, was showing some reduction on the nose, though underneath that reduction, it feels quite waxy and resinous at the moment. The palate is more indicative of the wine, displaying a fine thread of acidity, plenty of citrus lemon, lime and minerals, and a precise, lively if slightly abrupt finish. Once the nose awakens (and it will), this will be very fine.
