The 2016 Marsannay Les Boivins undergoes 100% destemming and spends 18 months in oak, some of which is new. Its bouquet is inviting, featuring crushed strawberry, hints of orange peel, and earthy tonesa classic representation of Marsannay’s charm, especially from this esteemed vineyard. On the palate, it displays a balanced profile, starting with peppery notes, supported by well-integrated acidity. While the finish may seem slightly abrupt at present, it’s likely due to the wine’s recent bottling rather than any inherent flaw. This wine promises rewarding aging potential, so consider cellaring it for a year or two before enjoying.
