2018 Bart Marsannay 'Ouzelay'

Thirty year old vines that are a little further down the slope from Les Longeroies and Les Finottes. 100% destemmed and 15% new wood. Bright, crunchy red and black cherries and kirsch cherries; pleasant beautiful and confected aromatics. The palate is fresh, vibrant, and taut all with deliciously wild and ripe cherries. More plum bramble with savoury sweet spice character, blueberry cassis, blackcurrant leaf. The palate is heavier with the same bramble/cassis characters. Long, round and powerful with chocolate richness and silky tannins.
