The Longeroies exhibits an ever darker fruit profile both aromatically and in the mouth, with a sense of succulent immediacy that is very charming and easy to love. It has good energy to accompany such fleshiness, with light but fine tannic grip lending shape. This will be a crowd pleaser and then some….
“A discreet application of wood sets off the herbal tea and floral-inflected red currant scanted nose. I like the sense of energy and volume to the relatively refined and stony medium-bodied flavors that offer good length on the balanced finish. This is pretty but not especially complex though more depth may well develop. (89-91)/2023+” Allan Meadows
“Fleshy and charming, the 2017 Marsannay Les Longeroies bursts with aromas of minty blackberries, cherries, currant leaf and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, ample and generous, with a flavorful core of fruit and fine structuring tannins. This is one cuvée that will be hard to resist in its youth.” 89-91 William Kelley
