2018 Cyril Audoin Marsannay Clos de Jeu

As good as it gets….! A little * awarded here.

“Intense and perfumed, the 2018 Marsannay Clos de Jeu bursts with aromas of wild blueberries, blackberries, rose petals, blood orange, violets and cinnamon. Vinified with entirely whole clusters, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, sapid finish.” 91-93 William Kelley

” A definitely ripe yet still reasonably fresh nose speaks of liqueur-like aromas of plum, black cherry and spice. There is once again excellent volume and mid-palate density to the attractively textured flavors that exhibit impressive length on the firm and very serious finish. This is clearly built-to-age and a wine that will need it. (90-93)/2030+” Allan Meadows ————> thingy, meaning, “particularly outstanding for their respective appellations and especially merit your attention”.
