Suggestion from February 19 2025
Wine: 2020 Marsannay "En Clemongeot"
Producer: Château de Marsannay
Comment: An exceptionally floral-suffused nose speaks mainly of spiced plum and black cherry liqueur along with earth and game hints. Like the Champs Salomon, the palate impression of the lush, even opulent, medium-bodied flavors is lavishly rich with excellent depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This suave effort is also atypical but it quite impressive all the same.
